BALAAM AND THE ANGEL

With support from Claytown Troupe 40th Anniversary Tour Balaam And The Angel are three brothers who were born in Scotland and grew up on a council estate in Cannock in Staffordshire. They played music together as teenagers but finally formed Balaam And The Angel in the early 80’s inspired at that time by the new scene that was developing around Bauhaus, The Sisters Of Mercy, Southern Death Cult, Theatre Of Hate etc. and a collective experience at the Futurama Festival in Bingley Hall, Stafford in 1981. The band achieved great success in the 80s alternative and rock scenes, signing to Virgin Records for their debut album ‘The Greatest Story Ever Told’, and touring the world with the likes of The Mission, Kiss, The Cult, Aerosmith and Iggy Pop. Balaam And The Angel are one of the very few bands of their era who can still claim to have maintained their original line up and as a result guarantee their audiences an authentic 80’s alternative live music experience. Show starts at 7:30pm. Age: 16+ (under 18s to be accompanied by a responsible adult)
