A Band Of Buriers
A Band Of Buriers are an English folk and spoken word band signed to Decorative Stamp Records. The band was formed in December 2010 by James P Honey (vocals, guitar, ukelele) and Jamie Romain (cello, guitar, vocals). They perform with a female choir and violinist.
A Band Of Buriers released their first studio album Filth on 10 July 2012 at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. The release was followed by tours in Austria, Germany and the South Of France. The single from the album, also called Filth was picked as Clash (magazine)’s track of the day, in which the album was described as ‘raw, vital… real’. The album received plaudits from Rough Trade where it is distributed and The Fly (magazine). The controversial video to launch the album featured actors Matthew Lewis (actor) (of Harry Potter (film series) fame) and Lily Loveless (of Skins (TV series) fame) in a tempestuous relationship that ends in self-mutilation.
After a sold-out show upstairs at Ronnie Scott's they did a four-month residency at the club for promoter TV Nights. A Band Of Buriers host the A Band Of Buriers present… night at Blacks member’s club and have presented many famous folk musicians, including Alasdair Roberts (musician) and 2012 Mercury Prize nominee Sam Lee.
In November 2012, A Band Of Buriers toured with Micah P. Hinson on the sold out UK leg of his European tour as well as performing at the Union Chapel, voted London's Number One Music Venue by Time Out.
