We’re excited to welcome Beans on Toast back to the woodland stage at the Strines Nightingale!

Beans on Toast is coming to town!

To celebrate the release of his new book Wild Folk People, Beans on Toast is throwing a summer party at our venue, and you’re all invited.

A legend of the folk and festival scene, Beans’ new book is a heartwarming, rebellious, and deeply human collection of tales about the extraordinary characters who’ve inspired his songs.

Expect a night of music, stories, drinking and dancing, with support from special guest musicians and DJs (to be announced soon).

Each venue has been handpicked for its unique charm and character, just like the stories in the book. This promises to be a unique evening from the one-of-a-kind songwriter, storyteller, and performer.

Here’s a message from Beans himself:

‘Heading back to The Strines Nightingale this July for a gig in their beautiful woodland beer garden. This is a very special boozer on the edge of the Peak District. I played here last year, it was an absolutely banging night and quite the inspiring experience.

‘It’s now home to The Glastonbury Oak [pictured above] – a story you’ll hear about very soon in the form of a song.

‘On sale now, limited numbers, so don’t mess about.

‘Beans xxx’

Support comes from Leo Baby (‘alternative folk/indie soul music’), while DJ Tails will be spinning some bouncy beats after the show.

The Strines Nightingale is a lovely country pub, formerly called the Sportsman, which re-opened in autumn 2022. Strines is on the Piccadilly-Sheffield train line, and on the 358 bus route from Stockport to Hayfield. This show, which will take place on the woodland stage (pictured above) will run until 10pm at the latest.
