We’re delighted to be working with Penguin Cafe again, as they perform music from the Penguin Cafe Orchestra!

2025 sees Penguin Cafe bringing the music of the legendary Penguin Cafe Orchestra back to life, with UK dates featuring a collection of PCO classics, celebrating the unique sound that has captivated audiences worldwide.

To coincide with this revival, six original PCO albums are being re-released on vinyl for the first time since their initial pressings, courtesy of [INTEGRAL] / Universal Music Recordings at the end of 2024 and will be available to buy at live shows.

This show is a co-promotion with Manchester Folk Festival.
