September 2016 saw the release of the seventh Southern Tenant Folk Union album ‘Join Forces’.
It was written following the May 2015 general election result, and then recorded in June and July 2016 amidst a quickly changing political landscape, something that has made the suite of songs seem timelier still.
The band will be touring to support the release throughout the remainder of 2016 and into Spring 2017.
Southern Tenant Folk Union are playing on Saturday 25 February at the South Street Arts Centre, Reading.
