Richard Dawson

Richard Dawson at The Trinity Centre

A gig held at The Trinity Centre on Tuesday 7th September. The event starts at 20:00.


Richard Dawson, the black-humoured bard of Newcastle, returns to release his sixth solo album 2020.

Where critically-acclaimed predecessor Peasant (2017) gave a voice to the citizens of the ancient early medieval northern kingdom of Bryneich via a set of narratives as bawdy as Chaucer and as epic and bloody as Beowulf, 2020 is an utterly contemporary state-of-the- nation study, that uncovers an equally tumultuous and even bleaker time.

Here is an island country in a state of flux; a society on the edge of mental meltdown. This is England today.

Age 14+ (Under 16’s to be accompanied by an adult)

This is a standing Bristol Beacon Presents show at Trinity Centre, Trinity Rd, Bristol BS2 0NW
