| The Home Service Band at The Stables Posted: 01 May 2012 07:07 AM PDT  Tuesday 17 July, 8pm Tickets £17.50 Home Service was formed from the creative nucleus of the Albion Band, with singer-songwriter John Tams exploring more contemporary themes in his music. Songs like Walk My Way, Alright Jack and Sorrow were observations on the social inequalities of Thatcherite Britain. They sound as potent now as then, making the work as relevant as ever. The band's reunion is due to the discovery of some previously unheard live recordings made at the Cambridge Folk Festival in 1986, making a live album release inevitable. They received the Best Live Act Award at the BBC R2 Folk Awards in 2012. "Blistering... truculent folk-rock."
