Conrad Bird & The Pegwells
Green Note · London
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!”
