We’re delighted to welcome Frankie Archer back to Manchester!

Feminist electrofolk musician and producer and Guardian ‘One to Watch’ Frankie Archer releases new single The Demon Lover and announces a UK 13-date intimate tour.

The Demon Lover speaks of lust and sin and motherhood, and the binary split between the pure wife and the whore. Frankie takes this new, boundary-smashing music on an exclusive small-venue UK tour this October.

Frankie Archer’s imaginative and bold mash of electro alt-trad shows her deep love of electronic and experimental music and her Northumbrian roots. Mark Radcliffe (BBC Radio 2) described her music as ‘fascinating and intoxicating’.

Her unique, fresh sound has pricked up the ears of fans and press, being featured in the Guardian, Bandcamp Best Of, Amazing Radio Tips for 2024, NME New Bangers, earning wonderful reviews from Clash Magazine, Tradfolk and Fresh on the Net, and being chosen by Fatea for their Showcase Session.

Winner of the Christian Raphael Prize, Frankie has been featured on Later… With Jools Holland, BBC Proms, BBC Glastonbury coverage, BBC Radio 4 Woman’s Hour, and championed by tastemakers at BBC Radio 2, 3 and 6 Music. She has supported the likes of The Futureheads and The Last Dinner Party. With her unique tech-infused live set turning heads wherever she goes, Frankie is quickly establishing herself as one to watch in the alternative space.

Special guest is Satnam Galsian. Satnam Galsian is a British Asian singer-songwriter and progressive folk artist from Leeds, whose music blends the rich tradition of Punjabi folk with contemporary, feminist storytelling. Through her distinctive sound, Satnam reimagines the vibrant narratives of her heritage, responding to traditional Punjabi songs through a modern and empowering lens. Her songs are deeply rooted in her personal experiences, drawing on her own journey of identity, belonging, and empowerment. With themes that centre around women’s stories, Satnam explores the complexities of navigating multiple cultural worlds and the strength that comes from embracing one’s true self.

In addition to her solo work, Satnam is part of Kinaara, a cross-genre trio that blends Punjabi folk songs, original compositions, and Celtic music. The band’s unique fusion of diverse musical traditions brings a fresh, dynamic energy to the folk scene, with their performances resonating deeply with audiences across cultural boundaries. With two self-released EPs, Fragmented Truth and Sahiban, Satnam has begun to carve out her own space in the folk music scene.

This show takes place at Low Four – a recording studio situated on Deansgate Mews in the Great Northern warehouse, which features a fully stocked Cloudwater bar.

This is a 14+ show. Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult.
