Follow up T.R. Burge And The Temple gig

Thank you T.R. Burge And The Temple for your friendship and the invitation to open for your debut live gig at the stunning Sacred Trinity Church. It felt inspiring preparing a set specific to the occasion based on our conversations and the venue whilst also integrating my poetry into my life set for the first time. I also loved contributing to Godache before and hearing the whole album live was beautiful – I can’t wait for it to come out. Thank you Emily Jade Hagan whose miraculous pictures capture the atmosphere so well. Thank you as well to Kuba Lewandowski for the incredible sound and tech support.

Gig at The Ferret

It was wonderful being back at The Ferret last night. 

In 2018 I played some early versions of my first tracks at an music open mic hosted by Johnny Jay. This event concluded The Present and Future of Electronic Live Music conference at UCLan organised by Tony Rigg where I presented my MA thesis on DIY culture in Manchester’s electronic music scene.

In 2019 I was then invited back by Tony Rigg to perform at the Festival of Music and Culture alongside a Chinese opera singer and an Indian dancer.

This time around I joined other electronic music producers who also happen to promote. The idea was to not run our respective events, but just hang out and play our own music. It was an inspiring and uplifting evening!

FLUFF at The Nico Ditch

We brought FLUFF to The Nico Ditch in Ashton and it was magical…

Iona Of The Hill kicked us off with her beautiful voice and stage presence, creating a cosy and wholesome atmosphere.

synda sova immersed us in her work: there were synths, records, a plethora of intriguing sounds and her voice. It felt very dream like.

Industries took us on a sonic journey interspersing field recordings from back home, soundscape segments from his PhD work on Manchester’s queer sonics and some abstract techno and house.

Our headline act Mike Plunkett presented songs from his new EP Let It Fly and more – with raw vulnerability and heartfelt lyrics he definitely captured the audience‘s hearts.

Thank you to everyone who came down. It was nice seeing mix of old and new faces and it feels as if everything came together in the moment, just as it should be…

FLUFF at The Nico Ditch

FLUFF is a DIY queer electronica night in Manchester conceived by Norrisette and Industries. FLUFF aims to provide a platform for LGBT+ electronic musicians to perform and test out original underground music to a live audience, as opposed to being a club night, and has kickstarted the careers of many. In this iteration at The Nico Ditch , you can expect an enchanting blend of sea shanties, magical leftfield electronica and beautiful songwriting.

Featuring Iona Of The Hill, synda sova, Industries and Mike Plunkett.
