Homelife, Denis Jones & Nancy Elizabeth
A home turf showcase of some Manchester's finest psyche and 'nu-folk' pioneers featuring the intoxicating sounds of Homelife, Denis Jones and Nancy Elizabeth.
The duo of Paddy Steer and Anthony Burnside have been creating music as Homelife since 1997, with an ever-changing selection of musicians and collaborators eager to work as part of one of the most innovative musical collectives in the city. Their music is always underpinned with great pop melodies, but they use a range of instruments (playing live as a 2-piece the duo have become masters of multi-tasking) that lay an ethereal, other-worldly element over their classic folk-pop songwriting.
Band on the Wall stalwart Denis Jones has become one Manchester's most popular performers over the last couple of years. He has developed a show-stopping live performance based around the core of his exceptional and unique guitar-playing style and rich, soulful voice. Using a loop station and all manner of samplers and effects, Denis creates vast, complex orchestrations of beat-box rhythms, multi-layered vocals and other-wordly sounds which veer from subtle heart-wrenching folk and blues to heavy bass-driven electronica. Definitely an artist to catch while you can!
Another hugely popular performer on the Manchester circuit, Nancy Elizabeth mixes folk and post-rock influences in her enchanting and dynamic music, featuring piano, guitars, dulcimers, harmonium and other instruments alongside her unique voice.
This concert will begin at 8pm.
