About This Event

Manchester's acclaimed The Peer Hat is set to host a captivating evening of live music on Saturday, 29 August, headlined by the distinctive sounds of The Dusk Brothers. This highly anticipated event, categorised under community listings, promises a unique sonic experience for attendees. The Dusk Brothers are renowned for their innovative approach to music, crafting their own distinctive instruments. Expect to hear the raw, bluesy tones emanating from guitars meticulously built from metal boxes, amplified by custom-built valve amplifiers. This DIY ethos, combined with their soulful musicality, creates a sound that is both familiar and refreshingly original. The doors at The Peer Hat will swing open at 7:30 PM, giving music lovers ample time to settle in and soak up the atmosphere before the performances commence. Tickets for this special night are priced at a reasonable £11.00, offering excellent value for a chance to witness such a creative and accomplished act. This promises to be a memorable night for anyone seeking authentic, handcrafted music in the heart of Manchester.

THE DUSK BROTHERS’ (Gray and ‘E’ Moncrieff) sound draws heavily on their unconventional arsenal of self-built instruments. Guitars fashioned from old metal boxes, “Frankenstein” foot drums created by ripping down 55 gallon oil drums and bolting them onto sawn-off bass drum shells and custom valve guitar amplifiers built from scratch in their own workshop provide a raw, bluesy backdrop for growling vocal harmonies and blues harp. These “cowboy-hatted shamans'” visceral live shows continue to astound audiences and accrue a dedicated fanbase at venues and festivals across the UK including the acclaimed Buckle & Boots Country Festival and coveted main stage appearances at Tenby Blues Festival and Carlisle Blues Rock Festival. Dusk Brothers featured in award winning director Virginia Heath’s documentary ‘Cigar Box Blues – The Makers Of A Revolution’, broadcast on BBC One and BBC Four. The debut EP “Storms, Rum, Liars and Guns” was released in 2019. During the 2020 lockdown the brothers transformed the ramshackle garage they use as a rehearsal room into a pallet-wood-clad private rum bar and live-streaming and recording studio. They continue to stream “The Dusk Brothers Show LIVE” on Friday nights from their infamous Rum Shack. The five track album “Roses In The Bonecart” went live in August 2024 with the release party held at the final date of their first headline tour at The Fleece in Bristol.
