PLEASE NOTE: We’re combining forces, meaning Florry and Memorial will now co-headline at Gullivers, with Tragicomics and Alf Whitby providing local support. Doors open at 7pm, with live music beginning at 7.30pm and the show finishing by 11pm. The show is now ages 18+.

We’re delighted to be working with co-headliners Florry and Memorial for the first time!

Florry are a Philadelphia-based country rock outfit led by Francie Medosch and featuring a cast of the most daring and tasteful players of the underground. Francie’s songwriting is pointed, personal and current, yet arranged with a keen ear toward the canon of late 20th Century outlaw country and rock n’roll.

‘Philadelphia singer-songwriter Francie Medosch’s band combines the weepy twang of old-school country with the cozy intimacy of DIY rock’ – Pitchfork

Memorial is a project rooted in friendship, one fuelled by unflinching honesty. Ollie Spalding and Jack Watts were friends first, and songwriting partners second, and this quality sets them apart. They’re marked by that peculiar alchemy when two voices become one, a special sense of human connection wrought through harmony and emboldened with experience. New album Redsetter is their coming-of-age moment – gilded indie-folk with an optimistic sense of maturity, it dares to look towards the light.

Main local support comes from Tragicomics. Tragicomics are an alt-country collective from the north west of the UK, and self-professed purveyors of sharply crafted pop songs, sweeping melancholy and doomed romanticism. Since 2017 Tragicomics have been writing, recording and releasing what the Quietus described as ‘widescreen English Americana’. In 2021 Tragicomics released their second album Book of Want, drawing favourable reviews and comparisons to My Morning Jacket, Wilco and Blitzen Trapper.

Opening the show is Alf Whitby. Sad pop alternative artist Alf Whitby returns with his new release, I Hope You Find Your Way — a jazz-infused folk-rock ballad that explores influences from Big Thief, Laura Marling and Bon Iver. The London-born musician, now settled in Manchester, called on collaborators from across both cities to come together to create this eclectic soundscape, recorded amidst the industrial charm of Pear Mill studios.
