About this event
Known for their songs of social relevance, meticulous research and unearthing of dusty poems, texts and overlooked songs, Brighton quartet Bird in the Belly bring an atmospheric live sound with distinctive, arresting songs of social relevance rich with their trademark ‘folk noir’ featuring singular vocals, strings and percussion.
Bird in the Belly comprises Laura Ward and Adam Ronchetti of Shoreham-bred duo Hickory Signals together with solo Artist Ben ‘Jinnwoo’ Webb and multi-instrumentalist and producer Tom Pryor. Gravel-edged and gutteral, Webb’s uncanny vocal often floors first-time listeners. It fuses with the unadorned but strong, crystal clear voice of Ward – linchpins in this compelling line-up.
The band returns to the Ropetackle to perform songs from their three critically-acclaimed albums as well as yet-unheard material. Expect material as beguiling as it is disturbing.
With support from folk duo, Milton Hide
"A Richly woven dystopia… An album of well-realised ambition." ★★★★ – Guardian/Observer
