Rory McLeod plays Bristol at Aesop's, 114 St Mark's Road BS5 6JD

A gig on Tuesday 24th May. The event starts at 18:30.


"A feral folk musician of enormous talent"

"Rhythmic storyteller, multi-instrumentalist...telling unpalatable truths about broken hearts...social injustice...in songs that are percussive, bold, lyrical, deeply personal...and have an unexpected edge to them, accompanied by spoons, harmonica, guitar, trombone and-tap-dancing shoes."

If you've never had the joy of listening to Rory McLeod before, don't miss the chance to hear him live. Fresh, funny, raging, rousing, poignant and delightful, bring anyone you think's in need of some musical medicine right now.

WoMAD said: "With Rory McLeod, you get the music of the world in one suitcase.[...] You can hear flamenco, calypso, blues and Celtic influences in his music, all wrapped together in an inimitable style".

Aesop's is a covered but outdoor venue. Music must end 9pm so come from 6, music starting 7pm.
Food and drink available from Aesop's bar.
