Jackdaw Social Presents: Laish

Event information

We can't wait to welcome Laish back to Manchester, headlining at The Castle Hotel on April 22nd.

Laish, indie folk heroes from the Willkommen Collective, have Danny Green writing and singing songs with a delicate grit, while the band arrange and play with passion and poise. Lyrically these songs are honest – brutal even, and yet full of humour, distilling all from the joyful pleasures of life through to the slow demise of relationships and indeed humanity. Their brief is wide and vague but those who have seen Laish live in the flesh come away exhilarated; sweatier and with an uplifted feeling.

Laish have toured relentlessly throughout the UK and Europe over the last three years, cementing their reputation as a tight, professional unit but with a touch of the unexpected. They are now comfortably headlining larger shows but have supported the likes of Sons of Noel & Adrian, Peggy Sue, David Thomas Broughton and even one night with Grizzly Bear and Beach House at The Roundhouse.

They are set to release their brand new album 'Obituaries' on March 25th via Folkwit Records.

In addition, we will be joined by the wonderfully-gifted, Manchester-based songtress, Rachel Hillary. Her lyrics are like poetry and her music is delicate and effortless. Accompanied by a timeless and angelic voice, Rachel will kick this show off with style!
