Event information

Two years after they brought their lamp show to Manchester for a glorious night at Halle St Peters and three years since they staged the lamp show in the swimming baths of Indy man Beer Con, Haiku Salut return for what is bound to be a magical night: a Christmas Lamp Show!

Haiku Salut are a unique proposition, sweeping between all-manner of genres but never losing the soft focus of the inspired instrumentals that provide their back-bone. Rising from minimal, glitchy pop songs into moments of distinct and awe-inspiring grandiosity, the band match the intensity of their recorded sound with a mightily fetching, and suitably dramatic live show.

If you\'ve not seen the lamp show before, you\'re in for a dazzling, exhilarating treat. The trio perform with a stageful of vintage lamps which are programmed to flash, fade and flicker in time to the music - and result is utterly spellbinding, like watching electronica come to life.

All of their previous lamp shows have sold out in advance, so getting an advance ticket is advised.

\'A collection of vintage lamps of varying sizes is scattered around the front of the church and flick on and off in time to the music. How it’s done leaves most of the audience scratching their heads and trying to work it all out as they file out of the church an hour or so later\' - Music OMH

\'A bulb bursts into life, followed by another, then another across the room. As parts are introduced the lamps become a flutter of activity, illuminating fretboards, cymbals and touchpads\' - London in Stereo

This will be one of the first public concerts in St Michael’s since its recent re-opening, having been closed since 2004. The Roman Catholic church was founded in 1859 and became the heart of the Little Italy Community in Ancoats.

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