“Pop music for the discerning listener”
Tongue firmly in cheek and taking influences ranging from the Beatles to the Beautiful South, Duke Special to David Ford, Beanstalk offer a quirky twist on the singer-songwriter genre by being like all and none of the above. Lyrical trickery based on life, love, love of life and life-long love of love-lives are delivered with wit and a smile, disarming, charming and sometimes alarming. Beanstalk are a five piece, bringing their brand of heartfelt sing-along-a-pop and their EP “It Starts At The End” with them.
