Debut gig: W.H. Lung at the Burgess Foundation

Hotly-tipped psych band W.H. Lung make their live debut this month. The Manchester band is shrouded in mystery, with only a couple of Soundcloud uploads for eager fans to listen to. These tracks form their debut 10” single Inspiration! / Nothing Is, to be released at their first ever gig at the International Anthony Burgess Foundation on May 12. This date kicks off a series of appearances across the UK, including Bluedot Festival at Jodrell Bank, End Of The Road and the Liverpool International Festival Of Psychedelia. Support will come from electro-acoustic experimentalist John Haycock as he loops a 21-string African harp.
