Bonfire Radicals, a “foot-stomping and adrenaline-powered” contemporary folk band, return to The Hare and Hounds with new album Spaghetti Junction for a special, hometown party!
---
Bonfire Radicals are a high-energy folk powerhouse whose genre-defying live show is as joyful as it is explosive. Drawing on original and traditional music from across the British Isles to the Balkans, their sound fuses pounding grooves, virtuosic instrumentation, rich vocal harmonies and moments of spellbinding a cappella.
Renowned for their exhilarating stage presence, the band have been described as “dynamic and high octane” (Fatea Magazine) and “a serious powerhouse of a performance… foot-stomping and adrenalin-powered” (The Arts Desk ★★★★). Immersive, celebratory and unpredictable, their performances push boldly at the edges of folk traditions - folk music with a fearless, contemporary edge.
Their 2022 album The Space Between entered the UK Folk Charts at #13 and received widespread critical acclaim. In summer 2026, Bonfire Radicals tour with a brand new album, with the record available to buy at shows before its official release.
“Exhilarating and exuberant” - Songlines ★★★★
“Complex and contemporary, edgy and exploratory” - Irish Music Magazine
“…a crashing rollercoaster of sound, alive with possibility and thrills” - KLOF Radio
Doors: 7:30pm
Music: 8pm
Tix: student, low wage and concession tickets available
