Robert Forster

Robert Forster is an Australian singer-songwriter and guitarist, best known as a co-founder of The Go-Betweens. This concert brings the act to Bristol Strange Brew, a live music venue.

Robert Forster co-founded The Go-Betweens in Brisbane in 1977 with Grant McLennan. Forster shared songwriting and vocals with the band across its long career, and has also released solo records alongside that work. The band's guitar-led pop and indie songwriting remains the core reference point for the music Forster makes.

Bristol Strange Brew is a venue at Fairfax Street in Bristol that mainly hosts concerts, with a focus on pop, rock and indie music. Its programme therefore sits closely with the songwriting tradition that Forster belongs to, and the evening will appeal to listeners following indie and rock from the late 1970s onwards.

This visit is one of several stops for the project on this tour, and the evening presents a songwriter whose work spans more than four decades.
