A popular folk singer will be performing in Truro as he tours the country with his new album.
Essex-born folk singer Beans on Toast will be heading down to Truro on December 10 to perform tracks from his new album 'Survival of the Friendliest' at The Old Bakery venue.
Created with Blaine Harrison & Jack Flanagan of Mystery Jets, the album also features special guests inc. spoken-word artist Dizraeli, acclaimed author Nick Hayes (on banjo), Rosie Bristow of Holy Moly & The Crackers, alongside several others.
Explaining his latest track from the album 'Not everybody thinks we're doomed,' Beans on Toast said: "I love life.
"I'm constantly inspired by the crazy world in which we find ourselves.
"The road ahead may not be an easy one, but I refuse to believe it's all for nothing and that we should roll over and quietly wait for extinction.
"If that's the future we imagine, then that's the future we will get.
"We need to visualise a better future.

"We need to adapt, and we need to celebrate the things worth celebrating.
"That's what this song is, a celebration of life and our future.
"Bring it on, chaos and all."
Having been tasked with producing the album, Blaine Harrison said: "I was honoured when Beans asked if I would help bring his new songs to fruition, and from the opening notes of his demos for ‘Survival of the Friendliest’ I knew it was going to be a very special album.
"Recorded in sequence over two weeks on the North Kent coast, under the watchful eye of the ‘Queen of the Waves’—who became something of a guiding spirit for the songs: A love letter to the natural world, a celebration of our human resilience, an archaeological dig into the ancient laws of trespass and our statutory right to roam, a renewal of wedding vows, a rally call against pessimism, and a toast to self-acceptance and kindheartedness.
"Magic bullets for difficult times, and timely reminders that sometimes the only way through is by giving each other a leg-up over the fence."
