Bonfire Radicals

On Saturday 7 December, Live In The Library Presents... welcomes locally based contemporary folk band Bonfire Radicals. Note that this show has been rescheduled from Fri 29 Nov due to unforeseen circumstances & tickets purchased for the original date are valid for the new date. The electrifying sound of Birminghams fiery, (un)traditional folk band Bonfire Radicals is both intensely creative and irresistibly fun. Their live set is a frenzy of energy dynamic and high octane (Fatea Magazine) and captures the adventurous breadth of their musical imaginations which emerge from a melting pot of original and traditional tunes from the British Isles to the Balkans. Their recently released album, The Space Between, was met with great acclaim and went straight into the UK Folk Charts at #13. The band features a front line of recorders, fiddle, clarinet, and vocals set alongside a punchy rhythm section of electric guitar, bass, and drums. French melodies decorate African groves, delicate English folk song is underscored by Heavy Metal, Klezmer moves through moments of Art Rock, Brazilian drumming accompanies snapping Scottish Strathspeys
