An intimate evening with Gideon Conn and friends at The Castle

Now living in London, this show brings Manchester’s Gideon Conn back home for one night only. Part of his multi-media tour (the next date after this intimate night at The Castle is the launch of his new art exhibition in Kentish Town), this show is being thrown nominally to celebrate the recent release of new album Take It All – but more than that, it gives a chance for Conn to throw a party with a couple of his best musically-gifted friends. Filling the three support slots are acoustic chanteuse Lucy Elizabeth, heart-warming singer-songwriter Aidan Smith and Katie Ware – or Little Sparrow, as she likes to be known on stage. Together, they guarantee a night of strumming and supping for those who love their music stripped back, honest and true.

Tue 9 Jul, The Castle Hotel, 66 Oldham Street, Manchester, M4 1LE, 7.30pm, £8, http://www.wegottickets.com/
