Post Description

Beans On Toast, or as he’s known to his mum, Jay McAllister, from Braintree in Essex, is a self-confessed “drunk folk artist”. Active since 2005, he’s quickly made friends in high places, playing Glastonbury Festival every year since 2007 and being namechecked in “popular folk troubadour” Frank Turner’s ‘I Knew Prufrock Before He Got Famous’ (“Jay is our St George, and he’s standing on a wooden chair and he sings songs and he slays dragons, and he’s losing all his hair”). This is BOT’s fourth studio album, all of which have been released on an annual basis on or around his birthday, December 1st. Beans On Toast, as with the student staple he is named after, has always been a simple proposition: just a bloke and a guitar, shouting his hoarse observations on every day life. However, like that much-maligned crown prince of the observational, Michael MacIntyre, the observations on hand are trite and somewhat blunt, unlike the sharp social commentary he believes himself to be giving.
