Beans on Toast

Essex-born folk troubadour Beans on Toast has been charming audiences with his candid songwriting and engaging live performances for nearly two decades. His unique blend of humour, politics, and storytelling has made him a beloved figure in the folk scene. Never one to stay still, he spends most of his life on the road, playing festivals across the globe and packing out venues big and small, building a dedicated fanbase along the way.

Known for his prolific output, he has released a new album every year on his birthday, December 1st, amassing a vast and varied discography that reflects his evolving perspectives and experiences. His songs are a celebration of life and the human spirit—raw, honest, and packed with warmth, wit, and an unshakable sense of hope. His live shows are legendary—an unpredictable mix of storytelling, singalongs, and sincerity, where the line between artist and audience disappears. Whether it’s a heaving festival crowd or an intimate backroom gig, Beans on Toast delivers a show that feels like a wild night with an old friend, keeping his music as relevant and vital as ever.
