Polite Bureaux at The Hope & Ruin, Brighton, 19th October 2023

Brighton was heaving with great gigs last night; the first of two we covered saw Polite Bureaux taking over the downstairs bar at The Hope in Ruin with another excellent set. They’re fast moving up the ones not to miss list, with an always frenetic performance and some masterful spoken-word lyrics from Joe Smith that veer towards the story-telling style of John Cooper Clarke. Look out for more dates soon.
