Event information

Mora and The Fabulous Wonderfuls are a dynamic duo / band from Manchester, known for their unique blend of righteous anger and soul-lifting songs. Mora, the lead vocalist, was always destined to be a performer, and she has gathered a talented group of musicians to match her innate power. The band's music aims to channel the pain and rage of the current existence into a communal connection, sending audience spirits soaring with songs like 'Bring Me Fire', 'Tool', 'Can See You', and 'Eyes Are Open'. They are also set to release their first album in spring 2025, with their latest single 'Tool' showcasing their atmospheric prog-protest punk style. The band's performances are a testament to their passion for music and justice, and they are in demand on the festival circuit.


The Simon Hopper Band - In 2024, acclaimed songwriter Simon Hopper reignited his long-standing musical journey with the release of Survivor’s Gratitude, recorded at StudioStudio³ in Whitworth with engineer Pete Troughton and a hand-picked group of outstanding musicians. The sessions sparked the formation of The Simon Hopper Band (TSHB) — a powerful new five-piece bringing Hopper’s songs vividly to the stage.

Drawing on the cream of Manchester’s rhythm players, the band features Rick Lacey on drums, Pete Attwood on bass, keyboardist and composer Simon Morecroft, and guitarist Rob Knight. Having rehearsed throughout autumn 2025, TSHB launches live in early 2026, appearing at leading venues across the North-West and beyond. Hopper’s songwriting reflects a lifetime of influence — from British folk and 60s pop to the Great American Songbook and North American singer-songwriters.

His work has been praised for its intelligence and depth: “Topical, intelligent songs that seek deeper context and understanding.” — hifi+ Magazine.

With rich musicianship, textured arrangements and songs shaped by decades of craft, The Simon Hopper Band delivers thoughtful, compelling live performances not to be missed.
