See event details

A gig held at The Canteen on Friday 17th January. The event starts at 22:00.


Free entry!* An irreverent bunch of Bristol rebels with a knack for raising hell with fast folk shenanigans. Born from the legendary Golden Lion Sunday Sessions, this is raw, rowdy, foot-stomping folk at its finest. Inspired by the punk-folk rock of the Levellers, drawing on the outlaw spirit of Colter Wall and topped with a sprinkle of Stuff Smith fiddle wizardry, Pretend Friends blend hooky melodies with heartfelt lyrics and raucous rhythms to deliver energetic and fun-filled performances. Pretend Friends is more than a band; they're a community: a bunch of mates with an infectious camaraderie on a musical journey, and we can't wait to make new friends along the way. *£6 after 9:30pm

Entry requirements: 18+
