Dizraeli 20by 20fabrice 20bourgelle 202 1

Dizraeli is a rapper, multi-instrumentalist and sometime singer taking hip-hop to new terrains.

First performing at the Ventnor Fringe in 2011 and again in 2013, we’re thrilled to welcome him back as he enters what we think is the most exciting stage of his career to date.

After six years pushing boundaries with his band Dizraeli & The Small Gods, winning the Glastonbury Emerging Talent Competition, receiving regular radio play and spellbinding crowds at festivals across Europe, in September last year Dizraeli left the band to explore new possibilities. His new work, recorded live in front of small audiences in a cafe basement, tackles migration, injustice, the ghosts on Walthamstow Marsh, the brutal nonsense of consumer London, lost and found love, Palestine and the singer’s Dad… It’s head nod-heavy, beautiful, unsugared songwriting unlike anything you’ve heard before. You won’t want to miss this.

Dizraeli will be supported by Toby Thompson

“Touching, funny stories of riots, atheism and Englishness... Dizraeli embodies 21st Century folk”
