A SIX-piece band, with a repertoire that extends from folk to cabaret, comes to the Beehive Centre in Honiton on Saturday 22nd August.

Nothing Concrete, based in the French Pyrenees, is led by Scottish songwriter Fergus McKay. Rooted in original songwriting, the band brings together a wide range of influences, blending blues, world music, jazz, cabaret, folk and swing into a sound that is both distinctive and hard to categorise.

Their music is danceable, often witty and always alive with a sense of mischief and purpose. Their songs often carry a political edge, but never lose their sense of humour or playfulness. That balance of substance and style has helped define a band identity that feels eclectic yet coherent, adventurous yet accessible.

In 2025, they released their fourth album, The Imperfectionist, to widespread praise, with reviews calling it “a masterpiece” and “joyful, nostalgic and just a little unpredictable.”
