The show begins in the immediate aftermath of the 1819 massacre, guiding the audience through pivotal reforms of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and culminating in the present day.

The show features a complementary visual presentation created by famed graphic novelist Polyp (Peterloo, Witnesses to a Massacre; Courage), generating a fully immersive audio-visual experience that promises to be emotional, educational and extremely entertaining. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to witness a musical journey that blends historical significance with contemporary relevance.

Mark your calendars for 16th August and 24th October for an experience of music, history, and powerful storytelling.

If any profits are made from the shows, the band will be donating a percentage to the We Shall Overcome charity which is for musicians against homelessness and poverty.
