PUBLIC SERVICE BROADCASTING announce headline Belfast show @ The Limelight 1 Friday 1st February 2019 | on sale Thursday @ 10AM

Public Service Broadcasting are delighted to announce a headline show at Limelight 1 on Friday 01st February 2019. The London-based band recently released their third album, ‘Every Valley’ to both critical and commercial acclaim on 07th July 2017 charting at No.4 in the UK album charts. The Limelight 1 promises an entertaining evening of eclectic instrumental sounds as only Public Service Broadcasting can deliver.

Public Service Broadcasting is the corduroy-clad brainchild of London-based J. Willgoose, Esq. who, along with drumming companion Wrigglesworth and multi-instrumentalist JF Abraham, is on a quest to inform, educate and entertain audiences around the globe. The trio sample old public information films and archive material and set them to new music. Live, the films are screened simultaneously as laptops are fiddled with, drums are pounded, theremins are wafted at, guitars are bashed and banjos furiously plucked. PSB’s uniquely spell-binding live AV transmissions see them weave samples from old public information films, archive footage and propaganda material around live drums, guitar, banjo and electronics as they teach the lessons of the past through the music of the future – beaming our past back at us through vintage TV sets and state of the art modern video projection devices.

On Public Service Broadcasting’s new album Every Valley, J. Willgoose, Esq. takes us on a journey down the mineshafts of the South Wales valleys, with the stories found there a black mirror to the plight of workers everywhere. Although Every Valley is the story of one industry in a region and time far from ours, the tales of a disenfranchised working class in this age of turmoil could not be more relevant. Although the concept is localized and historical, J. Willgoose, Esq hopes the story is “applicable to industries all over the western world and possibly beyond, in the way that the Industrial Revolution generated these communities that were so dependent on one particular industry, and what happens to that community when you remove that industry from it, and where that leaves us now”.
