Event information

It’s been a bittersweet rollercoaster year for The Travelling Band with not one, but two founding band members leaving suddenly either side of a 17-date UK tour celebrating ten years on the road together. Having quite literally regrouped, the widely respected Manchester based band are now ready to launch their new line up at Band on The Wall on Friday 5 May.

With the band now focussed around the songwriting talents and production skills of Jo Dudderidge and Adam Gorman and the rhythmic driving force of enigmatic drummer Nick Vaal, they have entered a new collaborative phase in the band’s lifespan. The introduction of AMA UK instrumentalist of year Chris ‘CJ’ Hillman (pedal steel and guitar), Harry Fausing Smith (sax, fiddle, guitar and clarinet) and newest recruit Sam Quinn (bass), the new live experience reveals an exciting new chapter for the band’s harmony drenched eclectic mix of Alt-folk, Rock and Americana.

Presented by Sideways Saloon Records and longtime collaborators Hey! Manchester, this special one-off evening will see the band playing new songs from their forthcoming (inevitably delayed) fourth studio album, due for release in the summer. This stellar line up includes performances from newly recruited Sideways Saloon artist Elle Mary (of Elle Mary & The Bad Men) as well as the equally hotly tipped South Island Son who have been recording their new single Down the slopes with Adam Gorman at The Travelling Band’s recently established Pinhole Sound Studios in Ancoats, Manchester.

The party won’t stop there with special guest DJ sets seeing this incredible night through until 2am.

Age restriction: 14+. Under 18s must be accompanied by an adult
