FOLK trio Faustus are set to make a return to Basingstoke.
The band will be coming to The Forge to perform after the successful release of EP Slaves in 2017, and the launch of their album Death and Other Animals in 2016.
Faustus will be playing The Forge on March 1 at 7.45pm, tickets are £17.50 or £15.50 for concessions. They are also playing at the Ace Space in Newbury on March 9 at 8pm, tickets are £12.
For the last few months Faustus have been sifting through publications and journals of the 19th century Lancashire Cotton Famine period, as part of a project based at the University of Exeter to archive, preserve, and rehabilitate the poetry of this distressing chapter of working-class history. Having set some of the texts to new music, Faustus have announced the first track, Cotton Lords, will be debuted on this March tour.
It is also available to listen to at http://cottonfaminepoetry.exeter.ac.uk.
