Valgeir Sigurðsson

Event information

Valgeir Sigurðsson + Sam Amidon + Denis Jones

This is an unmissable show! After the rave reviews of Sam Amidon's last show in Manchester, where, in league with Red Deer Club, we arranged for Sam to play at the Unitarian Chapel with a string quartet, we couldn't wait for the opportunity to bring him back. Since that time, his album All is Well has been critically lauded and the media have finally caught on to the New Yorker's immense talent.

Incredibly, the opportunity that has arisen includes a touring party from Sam's Icelandic label, Bedroom Community. Sam will be performing with a six-piece band, including legendary producer and Bedroom Community chief, Valgeir Sigurðsson.

And if that isn't enough for you, Valgeir will also be performing tracks from his own album, Ekvílibríum, a critically lauded masterpiece

We are pulling out all the stops for this one, including hiring in a piano to the church especially for this show. There is a strong possibility that the Rogue Quartet will join Sam for some of his set; those of you who witnessed the show in February will know exactly what to expect; those who missed that show really don't want to be missing this one.

To cap it all, the night will be kicked off by support from Manchester\'s own acoustic-electronica maestro, Denis Jones; having waited two years to play in this wonderful venue, he will be playing his fourth show here inside two months, after support for Jack Rose, Phosphorescent and Chris Corsano.
