SUMMARY:Just Songs Tour 2024
DESCRIPTION:Bike to The Future II – ‘Just Songs’\n• A Band Named Brian’s Carbon-Free Song Cycle\n• 11 Venues\n• 585 Miles\nBath\, UK – 24/04/2024. Following their hugely successful tour last year\, folk-pop duo ‘a Band named\nBrian’ is this year going even further in a bid to spread the word on climate change through songs\,\nstories\, dance and laughter.\nSinger-songwriter Brian Madigan doesn’t just write songs: he writes ‘just’ songs: full of passion\, comment\nand exhortation to strive for better. Accompanied by violinist\, bass player and vocalist Rob Whale\, Brian\nweave’s a narrative through stories and songs\, taking his audience on a unique journey into their own\nconscience. The style is two-parts Billy Bragg\, to one part Levellers\, with a hint of Johnny Cash and\nperhaps a dusting of Tom Lehrer.\nLast summer\, the pair cycled from Bath\, down to Shindig Festival near Ilminster in Somerset\, then out to\nPembrokeshire. Unfortunately – due to a bereavement – the tour had to be cut short mid-way\, before\nresuming with a further Bath gig and a glorious finale at Glastonbury Festival. Highlights included a\nwonderful night at The Pembroke Yeoman in Haverfordwest\, the revival of Trehale Farm’s amazing barn\nvenue (supported by local talent Abbie Jebbers) and a very warm welcome at The Cellar in cardigan.\nOnce again\, Brian will be talking with local deejay B B Skone on Pure West radio\, ahead of the\nPembrokeshire gigs\, on Sunday 2nd June. That same date sees the pair perform at The Whitehall in\nLlandovery\, one of the venues missed due to the sad interruption last year. Another was Cwrw in\nCarmarthen\, where they will appear on Tuesday June 4th. Naturally\, both Trehale Farm and The Cellar\ninsisted a Band named Brian return once again\, with gigs on Friday June 7th and Saturday June 8th\nrespectively.\nBut Brian and Rob don’t just song about change: they embody it. Both are keen cyclists and are\ndetermined to demonstrate this is a viable and enjoyable way of getting about without burning fossil fuel.\nThe tour will cover some 585 miles and take in hefty climbs along the way. The duo will be carrying\neverything they need with them\, instruments included\, and are grateful that most venues are either\nproviding or sponsoring overnight accommodation.\n“When you travel by bike” says Brian “You really experience the journey. Going by vehicle can sometimes\nfeel like time-travel\, in that you get in a box in one space and time\, then leave it at another – more or less\noblivious of what lies in between.”\nTo catch a Band named Brian live\, checkout tour dates on the web site at: www.thinkofasong.com or find\nthem in your local event listing.\nwww.thinkofasong.com info@madfmusik.co.uk +44 1225 313082
