Folk troubadour Beans on Toast brings his annual winter tour, an evening of songs and stories, to The Continental.
Beans on Toast plays The Continental on Wednesday 25 November, as part of his annual winter tour. He's a folk troubadour who's been at this for nearly two decades, and he describes the night as part concert, part gathering, with every show built around songs and stories.
Between the songs, he weaves open-hearted tales of family, friendships and everyday life, which sit alongside protest songs, drinking songs and songs about nature. He delivers it all with his trademark warmth, wit and unwavering optimism. Over the years he's built one of the most loyal and welcoming audiences in British folk music, and the critics have had a few words to say about it: Louder Than War called him 'perhaps the defining voice of a generation', Maximum Volume 'the absolute finest chronicler of humankind', and Three Songs and Out 'a travelling troubadour for the ages'.
He frames folk music as an age-old art form that's more relevant than ever in modern times, and describes the night as a relaxed, fun affair that leaves you feeling as though you've met up with an old friend. It's a solo show, so it's just him on stage with his songs and his stories.
