Description
Canadian indie-folk music band The Fugitives make a long-awaited return to the UK this summer with a concert at Alexander's Live, Chester as part of a two-week UK tour to support their new self-titled album. The Vancouver-based band were formed in 2005 and have released seven albums. They’ve been nominated for a JUNO, as well as seven Canadian Folk Music Awards, including Best Vocal Group, Best Ensemble, and Best Songwriter. Having toured heavily across Canada, the UK and the EU for two decades, they’ve been awarded the Best Folk Album of the Year by the German Music Critics’ Association, performed at Glastonbury and most major folk festivals. They were a 2020 Globe & Mail Top Arts Pick of the Year. The band, who were a huge hit when they played Montgomery on their tour in 2024, bring brilliant musicianship, top-notch songwriting, complex vocal harmonies and a funny, uplifting vibe to their live performances. Support will be from Ashley Fayth.

Open all week with a fabulous bar and an imaginative menu. Chester dates back beyond Roman times, but things really got going when we opened in 1991.
Our offer? A huge range of bands, comedy, theatre, burlesque, poetry and more… we seriously want you to have fun …
So at twentysomething we’re wise enough, never dull … at 150 capacity we’re as good at intimate as we are at heritage. We know people and we take time to make new friends.
We’re proud to host weekly Open Mic and Comedy nights, we’ve got varied gigs and concerts that offer music for everyone. We’ve welcomed performers such as Bill Bailey, Jack Dee and even Duffy in her student days. And we’ll always believe that the best is yet to come.
