This week Levellers were awarded the ‘Roots Award’ at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards at The Brewery in East London. Presented by Radio 2’s Jeremy Vine, he stated that the award was for a band who, “Stays true to folk and where it came from. Taking punk and folk together, brash guitars with the true bite of folk soul. Only the strong survive and The Levellers have done it by staying true to their roots.”
The band then went on to prove this by closing the show with a high-energy charge through two of their most popular and vital songs – ‘One Way’ and ‘Riverflow’, showing just how much they deserved the recognition.
Their year continues with their era-defining album ‘Levelling The Land’ performed in its entirety for the very first time followed by an extended encore of live favourites from the Levellers extensive back catalogue. Featuring the hit singles One Way, 15 Years and Far From Home plus The Game, Liberty Song, Sell Out, Another Man’s Cause, Riverflow, Boatman and the incendiary Battle Of The Beanfield.
Due to the extraordinary demand for tickets this tour, 3 additional dates (including a second show at Brixton Academy) have recently been announced.

I'm a self-confessed musical nut with an eclectic taste ranging from lo-fi indie to crushing heavy metal. I also make a blizzard of noise in my band Final Coil (recently seen deafening audiences in the midlands area). I also like cheese. Cheese is possibly the single greatest food (if one excludes bacon). Sometimes I write songs about cheese... but not often
