Grassroots Music in Shropshire

Cast your mind back, back quite some time now.  A time where Spring had sprung and Albert was pushing the boundaries of live music in Shropshire.

Just before the lockdowns started, Albert had almost filled his calendar for the year. It was chock full of original grassroots artists, from singer-songwriters to full bands and all that lies in between. Plus of course his favourite sing-along party bands.

Albert has waited patiently to reach a point where he could start putting on grassroots music again and that time has come at last.

Last week the awesome Chasing August from Telford broke the seal and there’s a plethora of UK grassroots artists coming up over the next month.

Red Rum Club are one the UK’s rising stars. In 2019 they were flying the flag for Liverpool, selling out tours in the UK and in Europe promoting their debut release, Matador not to mention performing at Glastonbury and of course, Albert’s Shed. 2020 was looking to take the boys to the next level.

Although their eagerly awaited second album, The Hollow of Humdrum dropped right in the middle of the pandemic, now is the time we’ve all been waiting for. These guys are electric live and with a huge tour of all the premier grassroots venues planned for later this year, Albert gets a sneak peak at his venue in Telford.

What should you expect?

Imagine an updated Liverpool sound mashed into a Tarantino movie. Then you’re somewhere close.

But don’t take our word for it, listen below to what the band had to say on BBC Radio Shropshire aired Thursday 10th June 2021 at 8pm.

Support comes from Taxi with Strangers, a melodic indie band from the North West that Albert tips as one of to watch in 2021.
