This event has been rescheduled from Sunday 29th August, 2021. All tickets will be valid for the rescheduled date.

BC Camplight plays a special solo fundraising gig to celebrate John Peel's 82nd birthday.

“I’m pretty sure the BC Camplight live experience isn’t something you can find elsewhere,” declares Brian Christinzio, the inimitable force behind BC Camplight. “It is a journey every night. One moment, I’m basically doing a stand-up routine and the next, the band and I are playing like we plan on dying that evening, giving our everything. Then I’m on speakerphone to my Mom on stage before assaulting my piano. I’m very thankful that, after all this time, the audience is finally there.”
