When: 7.30pm on Wednesday 11 November 2026
Where: Gullivers, 109 Oldham Street, Manchester, M4 1LW

We’re delighted to welcome Flora Hibberd to Gullivers!

Like a textile artist, Flora Hibberd weaves layers of meaning into her music. Born in London, she has called Paris home since the age of eighteen. As likely to veer into guitar or synth-driven pop as to take up a 17th century traditional, the songs pulse with surreal allusions and mundane emotions, a tapestry of everyday life shot through with cosmic signs. Hibberd sees her songwriting as a walk in a strangely familiar neighbourhood, revealing and reveling in the oblique and the mystic.

Her acclaimed debut album Swirl (2025, 22TWENTY) was recorded in Eau Claire, Wisconsin and praised by press internationally, including Le Monde, who hailed it as one of the standout indie-folk releases of the year, and KEXP, who hailed her last release as ‘a timeless collection of sweeping folk-pop’. With her haunting melodies, literary lyricism, and magnetic live presence, Flora has quickly established herself as one of the most compelling new voices on the scene.

Hot on the heels of her acclaimed 2025 album, Flora’s new record Mammoth gets weirder. Produced by The National’s Ben Lanz between a Basque mountain and the Paris suburbs, the album is peopled with ghosts of history and prehistory that roam the present, to stare into the future with a clear and unblinking eye. Echoes of Lanz’s trombone and longtime collaborator Victor Claass’ feverish guitar, and whispers of familiar voices drift down from the hill, the swirling mists of an album that is at once more energetically pop, and more odd and disquieting, than what came before.
