We’re delighted to welcome Hey! Manchester favourite Withered Hand back to Manchester!

Edinburgh-based cult indie songwriter Withered Hand (Dan Willson) is back with his first new album in nine years. How To Love was recorded with (Mogwai producer) Tony Doogan in Glasgow, and features guests King Creosote and Kathryn Williams (both of whom are long-standing collaborators).
Withered Hand broke out of Scotland’s Fence Collective music scene in 2009, releasing his acclaimed debut album Good News the same year. Willson toured Europe and North America before releasing a series of lo-fi EPs and his second album New Gods (Fortuna Pop!/Slumberland Records), which was nominated for the Scottish Album of the Year 2014.

His music has found favour and support from national and international radio, online and leading print publications.

Withered Hand’s third album How To Love is released on 28 April via Reveal Records.
