Booking Info

Expect intricate originals and inventive arrangements as rhythmic grooves, instrumental fireworks and rich vocal harmonies collide

With a front line of recorders, fiddle, clarinet, and vocals set alongside a punchy rhythm section of electric guitar, bass, and drums, Bonfire Radicals have been delighting audiences across the UK with their vibrant approach to traditional and contemporary folk music.

Their live set captures the adventurous breadth of their musical imaginations, offering an eclectic span of traditional folk music, energetic Irish tunes, Balkan dance and Swedish polskas. French melodies decorate African grooves, delicate English folk song is underscored by Heavy Metal, Klezmer moves through moments of Art Rock and Brazilian drumming accompanies snapping Scottish Strathspeys.

Released in 2022, Bonfire Radicals second album, 'The Space Between', was met with great acclaim and went straight into the UK Folk Charts at no. 13. Expect intricate originals and inventive arrangements from this eclectic ensemble - simply unmissable!
