Hidden in Plain Sight 1: The Redeemed by Burn Fm on Mixcloud
The first in a series exploring the lesser-known areas of music being made in Birmingham. The Redeemed, whose many members mostly hail from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, kindly invited us to one of their rehearsals, and a few of the musicians sat down to speak with us about the origins of the band, the role of faith in their music and the changing influences on their eclectic sound.
The Redeemed will be performing with their full, glorious lineup on July 5th at The Drum in Aston as part of the Celebrating Sanctuary Festival.
