Brother Bastion Manchester, UK
Brother Bastion is a Folk-punk singer and guitarist from Blackburn, Lancs
His songs are based on his observations
of growing up in a working class town, and the social and political aspects that come with that.
Influenced by The Pogues, Dead Kennedys, Johnny Cash, Motorhead and The Clash to name a few; his lyrics are often brutally honest but delivered with an acerbic wit.
A must-see live act.

Where do I begin? Jason Williamson is a modern day sage. Love the collabs with Amy Taylor and Billynomates as well. A tonic for the lockdown blues if ever there was one.
