We’re excited to welcome Beans on Toast back to the woodland stage at the Strines Nightingale!

Essex-born folk troubadour Beans on Toast has been charming audiences with his candid songwriting and engaging live performances for nearly two decades. Blending humour, politics, and storytelling, he has built a dedicated fanbase through constant touring, playing festivals across the globe and packing out venues big and small. He releases a new album every year on his birthday, December 1st, adding to a vast and varied discography that celebrates life and the human spirit with raw honesty, warmth, and wit. His legendary live shows are unpredictable and full of heart – where the line between artist and audience disappears, and every gig, whether a heaving festival crowd or an intimate backroom gig, feels like a wild night with an old friend.

Here’s a message from Beans about this show:

‘Heading back to The Strines Nightingale this July for a gig in their beautiful woodland beer garden. This is a very special boozer on the edge of the Peak District. I played here last year, it was an absolutely banging night and quite the inspiring experience.

‘It’s now home to The Glastonbury Oak [pictured above] – a story you’ll hear about very soon in the form of a song.

‘On sale now, limited numbers, so don’t mess about.

‘Beans xxx’

The Strines Nightingale is a lovely country pub, formerly called the Sportsman, which re-opened in autumn 2022.
