Vi har fået påbud fra kommunen om, at vi ikke længere må spille højt til koncerter - i praksis vil vi ikke længere kunne spille livemusik, hvilket er grundlaget for vores driftstøtte og eksistens.
Nabobygningen er opført med utilstrækkelig lydisolering, og under byggeriet advarede vi om, at det kunne føre til problemer, og det er nu gået i opfyldelse.
We have received a request from the municipality, stating that we can no longer play loud music at concerts - this means in practice that we can no longer play livemusic, which is the bedrock of our existence.
The neighboring apartments have bad sound isolation, which is something we warned about, when they constructed it.
Unfortunately, I'm going to have to cancel my upcoming European tour. For obvious reasons. All tickets will be refunded at the point of purchase.
I'm gutted. But what with everything going on right now, its the only option.
We have already rescheduled it once, but this time around the best move is to pull the tour and then rebook another one when it's safe and realistic to do so.
It will happen, just not yet, and when it does, it will be beautiful.
Essex born 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. A festival favourite (he’s played Glastonbury every year since 2007) and a prolific writer and performer. He’s written and recorded 11 albums and he’s played every bar, club, venue, pub, festival, party and honky-tonk you can think of.
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.
He’s constantly writing, recording and releasing music and puts out a new album each year on 1st December, which happens to be his birthday. Each album recorded with a different producer and musicians, over the years he’s worked with the likes of Ben Lovett (Mumford and Sons), Frank Turner and Kitty and Lewis Durham (Kitty, Daisy and Lewis)
He tours constantly and has gigged and played festivals all over the world. The Beans on Toast live show is an odd and unpredictable experience. A singer, songwriter and storyteller his self-deprecating quality is not something you often see, but it breaks down the barrier between musician and audience, creating a sense of equality.
“Cult legend and all round hero” - Louder than War “Protest songs peppered with optimism” - The Guardian "Brimming with energy and infectious charm" - Clash
In support will be powerful Australian songwriter William Crighton. Standing at two metres tall with a long dark beard and piercing blue eyes, William Crighton combines traditional music with unexpected experimentation and is a sight and sound to behold. Beans and William met at Boomtown festival and forged a strong friendship, Beans supported William on tour in Australia last May and now the two will be travelling together for this tour of Europe.
