Folk-punk hero Fraser is renowned for beautifully chaotic, yet passionate and fun performances. He recently played his 1000th show to a sold-out crowd at Colchester Arts Centre, an incredible achievement for this relentless gigging machine!

Already well known to many of you folks, this will be Fraser's first Fuelled By Cider festival so we are really looking forward to welcoming him to the family 💖

Fraser will be kicking off the festival in style at 6.45pm Friday night, 7th February, straight after a slap up dinner and pudding!
