About
Join Rocky, Bolshie and Punky for a rebel‑rousing night of punk rock, metal and ska with Bard Company.
BARD COMPANY are a vocal folk-punk trio from Lancashire, delivering fiercely independent, socially aware songs.
Featuring Rocky Bard, Bolshie Bard and Punky Bard, the band blend sharp songwriting with rallying choruses, creating music that’s as uplifting as it is uncompromising.
Described by Attila The Stockbroker as “absolutely superb, beautifully produced folk‑tinged agitprop punk rock of the finest order”, and praised by Joe Solo as “nothing in the mainstream can touch Bard Company”, the trio have built a devoted following over the past 12 years.
Working with acclaimed producer and multi‑instrumentalist John Kettle (Merry Hell / Tansads), Bard Company pair powerful lyrics with rich musicianship, passion and drive.
From festivals and pubs to clubs, museums and showcase stages across the North of England, their live shows are rousing, inclusive and full of defiant joy.
With their fifth album 21st Century Bullsh*t Detector, Bard Company continue to sing (and fight) for a fairer, more peaceful world.
This event is recommended for ages 18+.
