THE HUMDRUM EXPRESS

HIGH STREET STAGE - SUNDAY 24 AUGUST @ 1pm

Often championed by BBC 6 Music and 'famed' for withering critique, The Humdrum Express (singer/songwriter Ian Passey) breezily delivers offbeat observation, social commentary and sharp wit; fused with familiar cultural references, surreal characters and subtle puns.

With seven studio albums and one book of lyrics/poetry/musings under his belt, expect fast-paced, wordy acoustic folk with deliciously acerbic poems and irreverent chat.

 "The Humdrum Express is tuneful, eclectic and absolutely bloody hilarious - the missing link between Billy Bragg and Half Man Half Biscuit" – The Morning Star

 "Brilliant, observationally... part of me just wants to stand up and applaud" - Steve Lamacq, BBC 6 Music
