For over two decades, The Demon Barbers have redefined live Folk performance with their explosive fusion of traditional music, English folk dance and Hip-Hop choreography. Described as “one of the most imaginative and inspirational Folk shows in the UK”, the Roadshow brings together some of Northern England’s most respected dance artists, whose combination of skill, theatricality and humour, developed through years of collaboration with the band’s theatre company, Breaking Tradition, fill the stage with energy and spectacle.
Expect driving grooves, powerful harmonies, tight rhythms and a stage alive with dancers shifting between traditional steps, contemporary footwork and full-throttle dance battles.
With a BBC Radio 2 Folk Award for ‘Best Live Act’, acclaimed national tours and major festival appearances to their name, The Demon Barbers are one of the UK’s most exciting and entertaining acts on the circuit today.
