About

"there’s nothing high-falutin’ about the glorious mess of noise they make together!" Birmingham Post

"Bonfire Radicals are a Medieval plough-girls’ lunch of Chaucerian troupadors meets Captain Beefheart. Strings, myriad recorders and clarinet raga-beats to a ‘Balkan Divorce Dance’ breakdown. And what a delightful conundrum ‘n bass pizzicato jiggery-poguery it was." BRUMLIVE- John Kennedy

"their musical complicity and obvious enjoyment of each other’s company suggests there’s something raucous smouldering away beneath that wholesome facade"
B13 Magazine

An unstoppable force, fresh faced and emerging from Birmingham's exciting Folk/World scene, The Bonfire Radicals is the coming together of eight inspired instrumentalists with the desire to create something different. A combination of Klezmer infused woodwind, Scottish born and bred fiddles, hard hitting guitar and bass, and global beats from the percussion makes watching this band truly unique.
