19th May 202019th May 2020artist, Breadstock, gigs, livestream, local scene, new musicLeave a Comment

here’s a little look at the first batch of artists we’ve got performing for us next week at Breadstock ☀️

Olivia Browse – her brand new single ‘Sober’ will be out this coming Friday, we managed to feature it on yesterday’s Just The Crust so go and check that out! she’s played many of our gigs and we’re super happy to have her play this one 🙂you can pre-save her new single at this link.

Benjamin Finney – Benjamin is a multi-instrumentalist songwriter based in Manchester who weaves lovely tapestries of music with his intricate guitarwork. He’s a big part of the scene, having performed solo for a while now and also playing alongside Izzie Walsh in her band! Go and check his latest release ‘rabbit / for sarah’ alongside Matt Smedley!

Dora Noszkay – we first found Dora through the release of her single ‘In The Morning’ and we loved the songwriting style of it – you can find it online on Bandcamp and Spotify! We’re looking forward to hearing more from her, we were very lucky to catch a great Joni Mitchell cover on one of her livestreams over the past few weeks!

Jessamine Grace – Jessamine has been involved with many of our gigs for a very long time now and has been at so many open mics and gigs across Manchester over the past few years!! We featured her new single ‘Broken’ as part of our Just The Crust feature a few weeks back – you can find it online on Bandcamp and Spotify! Definitely worth listening to. There’s a video too!! ☀️

Fordaze – Mike aka Fordaze has been running open mics in Manchester for a while now but we’ve recently got more involved with him since the start of self-isolation – he put out his debut single Like a Sunrise last week and it is unreal! You can find it on Spotify here! His blend of mellow acoustic and electronic components to his music is a lovely fresh breath of air to a scene usually full of acoustic musicians!

indefinite articles – we’ve known indefinite articles for a very long time and we’re super proud to have him performing for us again! Joseph puts on open mics and gigs across the city weekly and is a cornerstone of the local music scene in Manchester. his folk-punk style is instantly recognisable and we love his songs – you can find more on his Bandcamp or on Spotify! 💥

that just about wraps it up for us on this post, but we’ll be doing another posts featuring even more artists who we’ll have performing for us next Monday 25th May! 🍞

it would have been a lovely day today for our fundraiser Dig Deep: Charity All-Day Music Event down at The Old Pint Pot! 👊

sadly we had to cancel it due to the ongoing pandemic, but it’s for an amazing cause so go and donate to Dig Deep – they do brilliant stuff providing clean water for villages in Africa. thanks to Leah Farrar for contacting us to help her with this! 👽

you can donate at https://dig-deep.charitycheckout.co.uk/pf/kilimanchesto-leah 🙂

Tiny Changes Fundraiser postponement!

17th Mar 202015th Apr 2020bread, gigs, local sceneLeave a Comment

we’ve not taken this decision lightly, but our Tiny Changes fundraising event this weekend has been postponed due to the current climate 😞

there’s been growing concern amongst artists involved about the morality of asking people to come down and potentially risking their health / other’s health just to come to a gig – especially as Lions Den Bar Deansgate have taken the precaution of shutting for the indefinite future 👽

we’d like to shout out our artists who were involved in the gig, including Harrison Rimmer Mathew Kerry Benjamin Finney Olivia Browse Laura Farrow Wanda Roslyn Adam Pilgrim – make sure you go and listen to any of their music they’ve got online! if you want to support the amazing Tiny Changes cause then please donate to them 🍞
