Seize the Day

“Bold, Beautiful Frontline Folk” from the renowned southwest 7-piece combo, with passionate, anthemic songs to inspire us in our struggles for a kinder world.

Seize The Day are an English acoustic band in the radical folk tradition, who draw on global musical roots. They write songs about whatever needs to change or be defended in this world, they sing to make you laugh about it, cry about it, dance about it – maybe even inspire you to imagine that you can DO something about it.

Seize The Day came out of Britain’s Road Protest Movement in 1996, when Theo and Shannon began playing together at the site of the Newbury Bypass in Southern England. Since then the line-up has expanded and gone through many incarnations, with their sounds evolving along the way.

They play at major British festivals like Glastonbury, as well as community venues across the country. But you’re just as likely to meet them at your nearest frontline protest or union picket line. Although they no longer fly abroad because of the CO2 emissions of air-travel, they’ve previously toured in American towns and cities, Indian farming villages, Europe and Palestine.

30 years experience has only strengthened their conviction that all lives are connected, and kindness is the key to every heart, even in the hardest of times. They sing to bring themselves and their audience back to this reality, celebrating their victories and appreciating their connection with Mother Earth. This is your chance to chase away the shadows and re-connect with simple human kindness in these challenging times.
