Knead To Know: Farrow and Friends Promotions 🌞

Our feature for today’s Knead To Know is the fantastic Farrow & Friends Promotions 🤘 they host various open mics across Manchester and they’re a real cornerstone of the scene!

During the pandemic last year they hosted open mics over at Lions Den Bar Deansgate each Friday and provided a fantastic covid-secure environment for performers to keep going, with busy nights each week with some of Manchester’s finest artists and really kept the scene alive during a tough time! 🌞

They now host two open mics – the Friday one down at Lions Den as previously mentioned and also one on a Sunday at Royal Oak, Chorlton-Cum-Hardy 🤘 they have featured artists for each one, if you want to perform just drop them a message! 😊

This is all run by Laura Farrow who is a fantastic musician in her own right, she’s been on the scene for a good few years now and has plenty of lovely tunes available to listen to over on Spotify 👊 head over to https://open.spotify.com/artist/1zTTCcF9TkWOOoaQHpUkJ7 to find her EPs which are lovely listens 🥰

Definitely one to check out here and a top friend of the label – fantastic stuff so head down to a gig as soon as you can! 🍞
