Beans on Toast in Nottingham

About the artist

"Beans On Toast" is the stage name of British folk singer Jay McAllister from Essex, who rose out of the UK folk scene in 2005. He is well known for his self-deprecating and honest songwriting, openly dealing with the topics of politics, drugs and love. He has seven studios albums and has traditionally released a new record each year on his birthday, 1 December. Embarking on the Folk music scene in 2005, Beans on Toast opened Glastonbury Festival and has done so every year since. Brutally honest, blunt as a hammer yet sharp as a razorblade, he’s been winning over audiences as a solo artist since he arrived in London from his Essex home.
