Manchester Communion Launches on 2nd February 2012
We’re thrilled to launch Communion Manchester on 2nd February at Night & Day with a fantastic lineup:
AGE OF GLASS – An incredible 3 piece reggae/blues/folk/dance trio sure to lift the party levels to dizzy new heights. They tore it up at Glastonbury last year and are genuinely one of the most exciting bands in Manchester at the moment. Check them out here: www.theageofglass.com
WILD BIRDS – Former members of The Travelling Band, The Vox, Sycamore & Manchester’s finest 60′s soul spinning Revolver DJ’s have come together to form what some might describe as a Super Group. Think ‘Tonight’s The Night’ era Neil Young meets The Band with a bit of The Replacements. Then stop thinking about that and come see Wild Birds!
BEANS ON TOAST – He’s run one of the most popular club nights in London (FROG), he’s run some of the best drinking & dancing establistments in London (Nambucca, The Flowerpot, The Wheelbarrow) and he’s performed in front of thousands at festivals and huge venues across the UK with just a guitar and a vocal like a cockney Tom Waits. Beans on Toast is a Communion favourite and an unquestionable legend. Signed to Frank Turner’s Xtra Mile Recordings, hear him here: www.beansontoastmusic.com
TAYLOR & THE MASON – Two beautiful Northern lasses playing guitars, singing sensational folk/blues/jazz originals with stunning harmonies. What more could you want? www.myspace.com/taylorandthemason
THOM STONE – He’s toured with Mumford & Sons, Foy Vance & Matt Costa, relocated from London to Manchester 3 years ago because he loves the place, plays & sings soul/R&B/blues with his electric guitar. www.soundcloud.com/thomstone
Doors: 7.00pm / First act on around 7.45pm – get down early to avoid disappointment!
Tickets: £5 adv / £7 on the door
We’re really looking forward to kicking things off in a big way – come and join in the Communion party!
There’s also going to be a free copy of Communion’s Flowerpot Sessions up for grabs for one lucky advance ticket holder! More details to come very soon.. Tell your friends!
