Farmageddon play a cutting edge mix of folk, punk and protest songs. From fast and furious to melancholy and thought provoking. Born out of the demise of small family farms in England. Their song writing has moved along to cover such issues as the banking crisis, supermarket dominance and the futility of war. Farmageddon’s natural links to the soil mean that thoughts of ecology are always close to the surface.We aim to bring serious issues to people through a great night out.

Brian, ''I had never written a song before, when a few years ago I had a serious bang on the head. I never meant to write protest songs but its just what comes out. Its great writing songs, I do it late at night. Sometimes it a comment over dinner or a news article that gets my creative juices flowing. I'm pretty sure the tunes are rifts, runs and hammer ons my guitar teacher taught me only to forget as we moved on, we never wrote anything down.
I think the bang on the head brought them all back which is lovely as it reminds me of my teacher, Cobert the wonderful fiddle player with the Cropdusters as well as a brilliant guitarist.''
Farmageddon specialises in protest songs written by Brian Goodall in an original punk/folk / rock style. Taking up the struggle against over dominant supermarkets, plastic polluting our oceans, inequality throughout the world and any other huge subject that needs to be aired.
