Event information
Red Balloon Music are proud to present our very first headline show with THE WEEPING WILLOWS - who will perform two sets - with a very special guest midway set from legendary broadcaster, writer and musician MARK RADCLIFFE - in the very intimate surroundings of Gullivers in Manchester.
THE WEEPING WILLOWS (Australia) :

3 x CMAA ‘Golden Guitar’, 2 x Australian Folk Music and Music Victoria Award winners, The Weeping Willows (Laura Coates and Andrew Wrigglesworth) are a couple of old souls, steeped in Bluegrass tradition and draped in Gothic Americana imagery.
They regale their audiences with stories of sunshine and romance, God and The Devil, murder and decay.
Real music.

MARK RADCLIFFE :
https://www.facebook.com/p/Mark-Radcliffe-100065586725355
Mark Radcliffe, once half of legendary radio double-act Mark and Lard, has been on the national airwaves since the early nineties and currently hosts the Radio 2 Folk Show and weekend breakfast on 6Music with Stuart Maconie.
He was the leader of folk-rock bands The Family Mahone and Galleon Blast and has also written five bestselling books about music.
His next publication is ‘Et tu, cavapoo – one man and his dog in Rome’ which he has co-authored with his canine companion Arlo.
His act is one of classic simplicity: one voice, one guitar, some great original songs, the odd carefully chosen cover and the occasional rambling anecdote!
