Grace Petrie, GDH Cole & The Commotions

Friends, comrades, Petrie-ites, some good news! Grace Petrie and her brilliant band The Benefits Culture are coming down to London in December for a very special Christmas show at the Wonderful Star of Kings in King's Cross.

OK, so not all of her songs exactly personify the festive spirit, but rumour has that there will be a few Christmas songs too.

Supporting her will be some brilliant rad rockers known as GDH Cole and The Commotions. Advance booking is definitely recommended for this one.

Information on the support act is sparse - This mysterious group of men and women were formed at the suggestion of noted music-business-mover-and-shaker Francis Wheen.

Seldom seen, they arise like Arthur when the class needs them. You might think you recognise some faces and some songs. But that’s just bourgeois mind tricks. False consciousness.

For GDH Cole and the Commotions assemble but once in a generation, and this is your chance to witness the power of their Socialist Rhythm’n’Blues.
