OH Productions presents
Bonnie Prince Billy & The Cairo Gang
Plus special guests

Tickets available from Seetickets.com, Ticketline.co.uk, Piccadilly Records (Oldham Street) and Grindsmith (Hilton Street).

Will Oldham, also known by the moniker of Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy, needs little introduction. Born on Christmas Eve 1970 in Louisville, Kentucky, he wrote most of his albums from 1993 to 1997 under variations of the ‘Palace’ name, stating that he wanted listeners to recognise that these albums were of differeing styles, recorded with different musicians. For almost two decades Oldham has been a prominent artist within the underground folk scene, with inspiration coming from artists such as Leonard Cohen and Merle Haggard.

Mainly using the Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy alter ego, in the last decade Oldham has collaborated with the likes of Johnny Cash, Björk, Soulsavers, Marquis de Tren, Matt Sweeny, Tortoise and Dawn McCarthy. He has recorded under labels such as Domino, Drag City and Galaxia, bringing to his cult following unforgettable performances and eerie yet mellifluous poetry time and time again.

The Cairo Gang (Emmet Kelly and Shahzad Ismaily) have performed with Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy before on the albums Let It Go and Lie Down in the Light, although this time they have been fully credited in the headline of the new album The Wonder Show of the World. The Cairo Gang use the gentle instruments of British folk, throwing in some free-form composition, along with some emotionally provocative post-rock vibes, and finish off with the fidelity and humility of homespun indie rock. On the new album, the trio of Oldham, Kelly and Ismaily form a soft, wistful rock, reminiscent of early Neil Young and James Taylor. Oldham’s previously trademark bleak poetry has given way to relative optimism - but the haunting melodies remain, along with superb three-part harmonies.

OH Productions is proud to present this rare show in Manchester.

Anyone know the stage times? We're coming in from Chester and might be running a bit late.

I have 2 tickets for this show and unfortunately I can't make it anymore. If anyone needs tickets then email me - just want what I paid for them ... Thanks

For the standing shows they still have some pews in the outer areas, but there is a pretty big area within the pillars with the stage set up just in front of the organ.

Saw Tindersticks there in March and it was standing. Also served bottled beer, which seemed a bit incongruous.

Anybody been to a show at Manchester Cathedral before? Is it seated or standing? Just got my tickets and they say "General Admission Standing" but I imagined it being seated, on cathedral pews.
