Long-running acoustic/ Americana showcase, now at its new location in Levenshulme, 7.30pm, adm free. The artistes: Phil Volcanoes Quinn, Emma Ellis, Wired Woods, and Picnic Area. Admission is free but this is a WE SHALL OVERCOME event and we ask you to bring groceries for the Levenshulme Foodbanks please if you can. Please note: children are allowed if accompanied by an adult.
The evening kicks off at 7.30pm with a set from our hosts Picnic Area. The Stockport-based band combine influences of country music, 60s pop and punk attitude to produce a unique sound of their own.
Wired Woods is the latest project for Phil Johnson, who was a songwriting member of one of Manchester’s great “lost” bands, Corporal Jones. Phil will be playing in a duo lineup with bandmate Andy. Their music is acoustic-based, emotional and epic; nothing online as yet but you can hear Phil’s earlier solo material HERE.
Emma Ellis started out making dance music, some of which was released on Ministry of Sound compilations. She then reinvented herself as an acoustic blues/ soul singer-songwriter, who has been compared to the likes of Janis Joplin, and possesses one of the most amazing voices you’re ever likely to hear.
Phil Quinn is probably best known as the charismatic frontman and main songwriter of the acclaimed band Little Volcanoes. These days as a solo artist he continues to write powerful, instantly memorable pop classics with a distinctly 80s influence. He will have a new album out imminently; in the meantime you can hear his previous album HERE.
Stay in-the-know, and be the first to hear about the latest news and happenings here at Station South.
