Gratis – our series of free entry shows – returns, with Later Youth’s debut album launch!

Since fronting Manchester indie-folk favourites The Travelling Band, Jo Dudderidge has built a reputation as a sought-after producer, songwriter and session musician, working with an impressive roster of artists including Victoria Canal, Chloe Foy, Rose Gray, Stephen Fretwell, Human Interest, Joyeria, Bette Smith, and longtime collaborator Lissie.

With debut album Living History released on 4th July, Dudderidge steps back into the spotlight as Later Youth, his unmistakable voice and signature Wurlitzer electric piano taking centre stage, blending raw, heart-on-sleeve lyricism with fresh, idiosyncratic takes on classic rock, soul, blues, and alt-country.

This free entry show is the hometown celebration of Later Youth’s long-awaited debut album.

Special guest is Simeon Hammond Dallas, who makes intersectional feminist bangers.

The show takes place at Low Four – a recording studio situated on Deansgate Mews in the Great Northern warehouse. This intimate venue features a Cloudwater bar.

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