““I used to think that truth was something that existed, that there were certain shared truths, like beauty,” says singer Joe Casey. “Now that’s being eroded. People have never been more skeptical, and there’s no shared reality. Maybe there never was.””

“The award-winning singer-songwriter from Aghagallon in County Antrim, Ireland may be decorated at home by the Northern Ireland Music Prize (for his 2016 album 'Let Bad In') and might have totted up over 80 million streams on Spotify during his five year solo career, but it's the unrivalled knack he has for a poetic heart-stopping lyric that's set to earn him wider recognition as a treasured singer-songwriter.”

“Former Bellowhead frontman and 12-time BBC Folk Award winner Jon Boden is one of British folk’s most influential figures. Following the release of his second, critically-acclaimed solo album Afterglow, the “folk stalwart” (Guardian) and his band return to Colston Hall with signature “springy fingerpicking and rolling drums” (Independent) and a new, rock-flavoured sound that delivers hints of Bush and Bowie.”

“Jon Boden’s critically acclaimed album ‘Afterglow‘ (Hudson Records) released October 2017, has attracted considerable media attention, including a BBC Radio 2 playlisting for the first single from the album ‘All The Stars Are Coming Out Tonight‘. As well as ecstatic audience reactions at live shows.”
