Hebden Bridge's Single File Traffic are quickly establishing themselves one of the best new live acts in the UK. As part of a series of ongoing gigs around the North West of England, Single File Traffic now make their Manchester debut.

With their chaotic and improvisation heavy live performances, jazz fusion centred, yet genreless sound they call 'Post' and lyricism indebted to Robert Burns, Forough Farrokhzad, and Laura Nyro. Single File Traffic are a band who consistently prove almost impossible to predict.

Fruitless Forest are an indie folk-pop band fronted by singer-songwriter Karl Francis. Blending melodic songwriting with atmospheric guitars, understated grooves and honest lyrics, the band create songs that sit somewhere between indie, folk and alternative pop.

Formed in 2010, Fruitless Forest have built a reputation for heartfelt original music and engaging live performances. Their debut album Lullaby was released in 2020, with a vinyl reissue following in 2025.

Now back with a full band, Fruitless Forest continue to develop their sound while bringing their original songs to stages around the UK.

They are joined by The Lost Property People DJs.
