Elder Island

Bristol trio Elder Island, an electronic act formed in 2014, play Band On The Wall in Manchester's Northern Quarter. The band's line-up combines vocals, cello, guitar, bass and programmed beats.

Elder Island is an English trio from Bristol, formed in 2014. Katy Sargent sings and plays cello, Luke Thornton plays bass and makes beats, and David Havard plays guitar and synths and handles programming. Their first album, The Omnitone Collection, appeared in 2019, and the group has since released three studio albums, three EPs and two remix albums.

Swimming Static, their 2021 album, was followed by Hello Baby Okay, a record the band made with the aim of overturning their usual approach. The new music combines funk-pop guitars, danceable beats and a playful sense of energy. The group has played festivals and venues including London's Roundhouse and New York's Bowery Ballroom, and in 2022 Solomun invited them to DJ at his Printworks takeover. Their music has been streamed over 400 million times worldwide.

The concert takes place at Band On The Wall, a concert and performance venue on Swan Street in Manchester's Northern Quarter.
