The Fugitives live at St Mary's Church, Shrewsbury

The Fugitives live at St Mary’s Church, Shrewsbury Canadian indie folk band The Fugitives make a long-awaited return to the UK this summer to promote their new album – No Help Coming. Based in Vancouver, they bring brilliant musicianship, top-notch songwriting, complex vocal harmonies and a funny, uplifting vibe to their live performances. Described as ‘the missing link between Leonard Cohen and The Pogues’, they’ve received numerous nominations from the Canadian Folk Music Awards, as well as a JUNO – the Canadian version of a GRAMMY. Since their last visit in 2017, the band have recorded a new album entitled No Help Coming, which will be on sale at their concerts. During lockdown they wrote and recorded the critically acclaimed and award-nominated Trench Songs, highlighting the experiences of young Canadian soldiers during World War I. Before that they released The Promise of Strangers in 2019, which was named Best Folk Album of the Year by the German Music Critic’s Association. Support will be from Anglo chanson songwriter extraordinaire Vincent Whyte. There will a licensed bar provided by the excellent team at Rad Beer.
