Manchester Folk Festival 2023: Festival Club Saturday @ Band On The Wall

See three of the best emerging English folk acts at Band On The Wall, the vibrant hub venue of Manchester Folk?Festival. This event is a bustling club environment and a great way to end your night at Manchester Folk Festival. BONFIRE RADICALS A raucous and danceable feast of dynamic, high-octane, prog-folk music: original and (un)traditional tunes and songs from the British Isles to the Balkans. The electrifying sound of Birmingham?s 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 an all-female 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? Bonfire Radicals have been delighting audiences across the UK with their vibrant approach to traditional and contemporary folk music, and they are quickly making a name for themselves as ?an outfit who specialises in creating a raucous and danceable feast? (At the Barrier). Two more acts to be announced. The event runs from 11pm - 1am.
