The Band
The Burning Glass The band brings together musicians from classical, jazz and folk backgrounds using tuned percussion, synths, strings and drums to tell stories of humour, love and grief. The live show is as equally well placed in a seated intimate setting as it is headlining festival stages with infectious rhythm and energy. Over the last decade the band have built a cult following UK festival circuit. Online copies of their two full length albums continue to sell internationally and they are building a following from as far afield as the US, Canada, Japan and South Africa. They have been featured on BBC 6 music, BBC introducing, playlists and online radio.
The band are working on songs for a third studio album in 2025.
“A group of lyrically-witty and jauntily harmonised storytellers” – Virgin Music
“The Burning Glass, a storytelling four piece led by Edwin Brooks, who left you wanting to hang out with them and listen to their stories in song form for the rest of the afternoon. The old folk technique of turning self-experiences into clever songs was never more apparent at the festival than in The Burning Glass’ witty and humorous burst of acoustic goodness.” – For Folks Sake
