Comfort, a punk band that tackles issues such as trans rights, are set to perform in Carlisle next month. 

Hailing from Glasgow, Comfort’s setup consists of sibling duo Sean and Natalie McGhee, with Sean on drums and Natalie as a magnetic frontwoman, backed by wildly oscillating software synths to create music that is direct, engaging, and uncompromising.

Their sheer live power leaves audiences excited and wild-eyed, and their energy is infectious, as is the rawness of their messages. Confrontational yet vulnerable their music reaches for a personal, yet queer liberation within a constrictive society.

Comfort is a band that disrupted the music scene with their album What’s Bad Enough. With fearless lyrics that navigate the harsh realities of being a transwoman in modern Britain and a genre-defying sound, Comfort refuses to be confined by labels.

The duo kicked off their tour of Europe in Amsterdam on September 1 and are set to visit The Brickyard in Carlisle as their final stop. 

They can be seen on November 18 at 7.30pm, with tickets currently available for £8 on The Brickyard's website.
