Songs of Protest: The Staves, Grace Petrie, Bess Atwell and Pauline Black

Local legend, Pauline Black (The Selecter) hosts a night of music and words on the theme of protest, showcasing three distinctive artists drawing on their own unique material alongside selected covers of legendary protest songs.From the deeply personal to the political – each act possesses an empowering and inspiring vision. The Staves’ fourth LP, All Now, finds Jessica and Camilla Staveley-Taylor exploring womanhood, sisterhood, and facing your fears.

Quiet activism also permeates through Bess Attwell’s remarkable recent collection made with The National’s Aaron Dessner, Light Sleeper.

Grace Petrie is one of the UK’s most respected singer-songwriters. Her state of the nation songs, infused with equal parts rage, humour and hope, are astutely observed and brilliantly delivered.

Join us for an unforgettable evening featuring four extraordinary women, commissioned by Warwick Arts Centre as a collective call for positive change, and an invitation to discover our inner Rebels With A Cause.
