Taking to the stage on Sunday afternoon for the Tolpuddle Martyrs Festival 2021 was cult legend and all round hero, Beans on Toast.
A folk songwriter ‘Beans on Toast’ is an extremely unique performer. Twisting an age-old genre with a D.I.Y. approach and contemporary concerns has earned him the title of a cult figure who tells it like it is.
He’s a hippy, a punk, a poet, a drunk, a die-hard romantic and an eternal optimist. Singing simple songs that tackle big issues. Political protest songs for the modern day, honest and open Love songs. Songs that will make you laugh, but also make you think with no holds barred honesty and quick wit.
Beans on Toast is also a prolific writer and performer having written and recorded 11 albums and played every bar, club, venue, pub, festival, party and honky-tonk you can think of. Each album is recorded with a different producer and musicians; over the years he’s worked with the likes of Ben Lovett (Mumford & Sons), Frank Turner and Kitty and Lewis Durham (Kitty, Daisy & Lewis).
His self-deprecating quality is not something you often see, but along with his infectious charm, Beans on Toast breaks down the barrier between musician and audience, creating a sense of equality. He is perfect for the Festival.
