TONIGHT IN MANCHESTER: Last Harbour

Shrug off the torpor of a long Bank Holiday weekend with the noir charms of this highly recommended gig tonight presented by Little Red Rabbit Records. Headling are the Manchester collective Last Harbour in the middle of a UK tour to support new album "Volo". I haven’t got this yet but its garnering excellent reviews.

"4/5. Rather beautiful and at times menacing, recalling Black Heart Procession and Dirty Three." ARTROCKER
"With their gothic archness and deathly strings, Last Harbour's fourth LP 'Volo' is their most expansive to date." UNCUT ***
"'Volo' exhibits so much literary dexterity and multi-instrumental skill you feel almost duty-bound to surrender. Ah, those sweet-melancholic violins shedding soft tears for women and children menaced by dark forces. Ah, the sorrowed seduction of Kevin Craig's cavernous baritone." MOJO

Support is from label-mates Samson & Delilah and Goldmundo. A night of dark laments and gloomy folk stylings – perfect for Easter week if you ask me. Advance tickets here only £5.
