Bonfire Radicals plus special guests Choir with No Name

Bonfire Radicals are playing the Jennifer Blackwell Performance Space on Sunday 18 October, with Choir with No Name opening for them. It's a matinee, starting at 3:00pm, so you'll be out well before the evening kicks in.

Bonfire Radicals describe what they do as prog-folk, and that's a fair place to start. It's folk music that doesn't stay in one lane — the 'prog' side of the name points to the more expansive, structured side of things, while the folk keeps it grounded in acoustic tradition. They're bringing their live show to the Jennifer Blackwell, so it's the full band on stage rather than a studio recording. The set is built around their own material, and they've described it as a dynamic live show, which suggests it's less about sitting still and more about the energy they bring to the room.

Choir with No Name takes the first slot as special guests, so the afternoon starts with them before the Bonfire Radicals take over. Between the two, you've got a full bill of live music to work through. If you're bringing anyone younger, it's worth keeping in mind that under-16s have to be accompanied by an adult.

Tickets are £15, and the whole thing gets going at 3:00pm on Sunday 18 October at the Jennifer Blackwell Performance Space in Birmingham.
