A
gig
held at Crofters Rights
on Thursday 23rd April. The event starts at 19:30.
Killer three-band bill at Crofters on St George's Day. Three local bands on a fast ascent to greatness, three outspoken social observers, three different takes on the crumbling concepts of England, Britain, Poundland and more.
HUSH MOZEY
Hush Mozey is a four-piece band based in Bristol bringing together Ska, Punk and Garage music to create a sound they like to call Drowzy Rock and Roll.
JUNIOR BILL
The Cardiff/Bristol-based outfit's closest thing to a hometown show on their zig-zag national tour. At first glance, their set is a joyous high-energy conga of reggae, highlife, soul and new wave pop delivered with perfect exuberance by a terrific band. A guaranteed good time.
On closer inspection though, frontman Rob Nichols’s songs about resentful mortgage payers, toothless care home dwellers, lost asylum seekers and clueless high street urchins tell sad stories about the worried state of the nation and its mistrustful inhabitants as we drift inevitably towards our post Brexit fate.
Yet, somehow at the end of the process there is always a sense of optimism and a feeling that Junior Bill are on hand to make the world a slightly better, and more fun place to be.

BEEFYWINK
‘Twisted and vicious’ Post-Punk from Bristol, BEEFYWINK derive their sound from a politically charged smorgasbord of genres. As well as the unmistakable snarl of both classic and modern Punk, influences include Hip-Hop, Dub, DnB and Drill. Polarising and witty, BEEFYWINK’s lyrics carry a fusion of flippant off-the-cuff remarks with philosophical guidance through our current political and social climate.
Beefywink are due to release their debut album in May 2020.
"Beefywink brought an instant explosion of sound and energy from the get-go that charged the packed room with an electricity usually reserved for seasoned punk bands"
