Event information

UTB Manchester presents... Seán McGowan

We're proud to welcome Seán McGowan back to Manchester for a rare solo show this November.

It’s fair to say that Seán McGowan has been “grafting” since Day One. Over the last decade, the Southampton born singer has toured over 20 Countries and performed at numerous festivals; all whilst juggling reality with jobs such as: Barman; Cleaner; Kitchen Porter; Tour Manager; and, most recently; a Barber. Unafraid of “getting stuck in”, McGowan is still chipping away; delivering songs, shows and mentality of working-class reality that resonates beyond the shores of the UK and across the Globe. Unapologetically: “warts ‘n’ all”.

With Five EP’s (McGovernment, The People’s Music, Look Lively, Graft & Grief, Curate Calm Create Chaos) and Two LP's (Son of the Smith and Who On Earth) under his belt, records that have landed him support tours with artists such as: Frank Turner; Billy Bragg; The Levellers; in addition to festival slots at: Glastonbury; Bestival; 2000 Trees, and many more, plus sold out headline tours, relentless effort and constant progression have set him up for what will be his biggest move to date.

Whether it's a passionate, raw, and lyrical Solo performance or a riotous, bold, and layered Full-Band performance - McGowan cut his teeth playing live. He's not just another Singer/Songwriter.
