About This Event

Guitarist and composer Aziz Ibrahim brings his acclaimed Lahore To Longsight tour to Sidney & Matilda on Sunday 18 October 2026. The Manchester-born musician, whose storied career includes spells with Simply Red and The Stone Roses, draws upon a rich tapestry of British rock and South Asian influences. His set is expected to weave intricate guitar lines with the rhythmic pulse of the subcontinent, offering a powerful reflection of his own heritage and musical journey. This afternoon show begins at 1:30pm, with tickets priced at a modest £13. Ibrahim’s work has long celebrated the fusion of cultures, and this performance promises to be a compelling exploration of identity, place, and sound, connecting the streets of Manchester with the spirit of Lahore. It is a rare opportunity to experience a musician who has shaped the landscape of modern British music while staying deeply rooted in his family’s traditions.
