Luke Concannon:

"Political,Intense, angular and beautiful', Colin Murray BBC Radio 1.
Formerley of Nizlopi-yes 'the JCB song man'- Full of life, music, and stories, these
gigs promise to be exuberent and fierce! He loves to get people involved, so get ready to sing and dance.

"I'm back, after the last two years of rambling, Hitchhiking to Palestine-meeting a
Bear, a few different armys, and the best people you could hope to meet-with a new
gaggle of songs inspired by the jaw dropping wilds. New album out soon! I'll be
doing a tour of living rooms, festivals, prisons, and some music venues too!"
