Description

Singer songwriter Brian Madigan (AKA a Band named Brian) is on a two wheeled mission to save the planet. Accompanied by violinist/bassist Rob Whale, they are cycling from venue to venue, raising environmental awareness ? and spirits ? through the medium of song. Two parts Billy Bragg to one Part Levellers, with a touch of Johnny Cash and a side order of Beans on Toast: you?ll laugh, you?ll cry? you may even dance!

Brian?s songs and the stories behind them are crammed full of passion, wit and wisdom. His influences are wide-ranging, but his voice is very much his own. Combining social comment with humour, the songs are hard-hitting yet relatable. His shows are at once intimate, challenging and great fun.

Whether in a small arts venue or on a theatre stage, Brian instantly engages his audience and takes them on a journey of self-discovery. As Bath Fringe Hub put it, this is ?never the average songwriter showcase?. Rather, a Band named Brian gig is something to savour and remember.

A renowned composer, performer and educator, Brian has appeared on drums with alt-folk maestros ?Rivers of England?, folk-rock supergroup ?Madigan? and psych-acoustic legends ?Wise Wound?, amongst others. Composing credits include film, advertising, theatre, dance and digital media. But Brian?s purest form of self-expression remains song writing. And the best way to experience that is to catch him live.
