'Patchwork Tour' UK Dates Announced for Aug-Oct

Well folks, we’re back on the road! See our full list of tour dates here

This tour is not just about music, it's about community.

Music weaves our lives together. It is the thread that binds us to so many of you amazing people. This patchwork tour celebrates how music enriches our connections with each other and how it can bring people from different walks of life together.

We invite YOU to bring a small square of fabric or cloth to contribute to a collaborative piece of art. We will later transform these contributions into a unique quilt, symbolising unity, diversity and creativity. Fans who contribute are put into a hat to win the quilt once it is complete.

Patchwork Tour also symbolizes our opposition to the fast fashion fabric market. As usual, our up-cycled shirts will be available AND if you bring your own item of clothing to a show, we’ll stencil our design on it for you!

We’re thrilled, as always, to have Mike Seal on board for most of the tour (what a guy) and we can’t wait to see you all again. The tour kicks off in Wales at Green Gathering Festival!

Wether you can come to a show or not, here are some ways you can support us.
