Big Special, The Joy Hotel and poet-performer Bradley Taylor play The Craufurd Arms in Milton Keynes.
Big Special play The Craufurd Arms on Sunday 6 December, with the night starting at 7:30pm. They're a rock and alternative act from Birmingham, and they're sharing the bill with The Joy Hotel and the poet and performer Bradley Taylor.
Big Special describe their sound as rancorous, rascally and explosive verbals riding crunching neo-punk rhythms over expansive, angular electronica. It's a bit of a mouthful, but it points to a mix of spoken-word delivery and a loud, electronic-leaning band behind it. The Joy Hotel are a six-piece alt-rock band formed in the east end of Glasgow in 2019, so there's a Scottish presence on the bill alongside the Birmingham outfit. Bradley Taylor is an award-winning poet and performer, whom Craig Charles has described as 'a brand new voice and a fresh perspective on the art of poetry and performance'.
