Billy Bragg

Glastonbury taking a year off means no Left Field this summer, but you still have the opportunity to recharge your activism at the Tolpuddle Martyrs Festival. It's a celebration of worker's power with music, talks, workshops, a colourful parade of union banners and a whole weekend of radical solidarity. Get down to Dorset and get organised!

Important update: Billy Bragg to replace Peggy Seeger in Songs for the Workers line-up

We have recently been informed that Peggy Seeger has sadly been advised to cancel all upcoming gigs and engagements due to a period of ill health. Ticket holders have been informed that she will be unable to perform at the Songs for the Workers event on Thursday 7 May.

We are, however, delighted to announce that Billy Bragg will perform in Peggy's place.

Songs for the Workers is a night of music to mark International Workers' Day, also featuring Jackie Oates, Nick Hart, Jennifer Reid and Francy Devine. You can still grab tickets to join us for this night with iconic folk musicians paying tribute to workers with industrial and agricultural folk music, work songs and ballads and more.
