BRIAN BILSTON + The Catenary Wires

Brian Bilston is one of the UK’s most popular poets.  Having started out by sharing his poems online, Brian now has over half a million followers on social media and a raft of bestselling books. After a succession of sell-out live shows, Brian is on tour again in the UK.

The Catenary Wires are a group comprising Amelia Fletcher, Rob Pursey and Ian Button.  Their critically acclaimed third album ‘Birling Gap’ was released in 2021.

Now they have collaborated to launch a superb new album: ‘Sounds Made By Humans’.

The album isn’t a set of readings with musical backdrops: it’s a collection of songs, where words and music have become completely intertwined.  In many ways, Brian’s poems are already like pop songs: brief, direct, and witty; sometimes poignant, sometimes biting and political; but always economical, and always accessible.
