About this event

Conrad Bird & The Pegwells is on Wednesday 4 November 2026 at Green Note, London, with doors at 19:00. Tickets start at £16.50, including the booking fee.

Conrad Bird is a rambling rover from North Yorkshire, and after over a decade of fronting the very popular festival act, Holy Moly & The Crackers, he is finally taking it back to the roots, with a brand-new solo EP of poetic folk songs, and Dylan-inspired balladeering. His gravelly voice and his on-stage story-telling result in a very charming stage show. The Pegwells play the old-time music of the American South, through a specific decolonial and queer lens, as a way to claim space in a scene that marginalises non-male and non-white people. “We’re here to expand ingrained ideas of who this music belongs to and why; highlighting and dismantling the erasure of black contribution to traditional banjo and fiddle music. We are on a mission to embody a fuller, more honest history, that tracks the heritage of these tunes back to West Africa as well as here to the British Isles. Through this act of reclamation, our aim is to re-establish this music we love as a site and means of radical inclusion. Folk for the folk!”

Guy Davis

Green Note · London

GUY DAVIS: “… one of the most gifted acoustic musicians on the planet” Blues Blast Magazine. Multi instrumentalist Guy Davis is a two-time, back-to-back Grammy nominee for Best Traditional Blues, musician, actor, author, songwriter, so much more than ‘just a bluesman’, a troubadour of the folk tradition, and a master of his craft. Guy uses a blend of Roots, Blues, Folk, Rock, Rap, Spoken Word, and World Music to comment on and address the frustrations of social injustice, touching on historical events, and common life struggles. Equally at ease with six or twelve string guitar, five string banjo, harmonica, and even the didgeridoo, Guy’s work has seen him perform alongside Pete Seeger, Bruce Springsteen, Dr John, Taj Mahal and Joss Stone, opening for Chuck Berry, Joan Armatrading, and BB King, and perform all over the globe. Adventures that once saw him chased out of Red Square in Moscow for trying to sing, performing in the then Soviet occupied East Berlin, and in front of an iceberg in Greenland! His shows feature a mixture of his own original material alongside classic cover songs from such luminaries as Muddy Water, Howlin’ Wolf, and Bob Dylan. “…a superb song...

Dietrich Strause is an American indie-folk songwriter and multi-instrumentalist based in London. His fifth studio album You And I Must Be Out Of My Mind was released on Jeffrey Foucault's Blueblade Records. Strause has spent over a decade weaving timeless melodies with heartbreaking narratives using his “virtuosic command of imagery” and “his knack for vivid, almost literary lyricism” (WBUR,Boston NPR). His songs have been described by Americana UK as “captivating and evocative” with his latest collection no exception. Each one is an exploration and discovery of loss, hope, desire, and disillusionment through images of love-worn soldiers, scrambled weathervanes, listless sailors, and drifting satellites lost in an open heart. Dietrich is a veteran of the indie Americana scene in the US, as well as having performed extensively throughout the UK and EU,...
