Flora Hibberd

Manchester concert at Gullivers on Oldham Street, featuring Flora Hibberd, a pop rock artist, with support from the Manchester-based songwriter Run Remedy.

Flora Hibberd is a songwriter who was born in London and has lived in Paris since the age of eighteen. Her music moves between guitar-led pop and synth-driven material, and she has also drawn on a 17th century traditional song. Her lyrics are built around surreal images and ordinary feelings, and she describes her writing as a walk through a familiar but strange neighbourhood.

Her debut album, Swirl, came out in 2025 on the label 22TWENTY and was recorded in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. The press coverage included Le Monde and KEXP. Her newer record, Mammoth, was produced by Ben Lanz of The National and was made between a mountain in the Basque Country and the Paris suburbs. It deals with figures from history and prehistory.

The local support act is Run Remedy, the project of New Jersey-born, Manchester-based songwriter Robin Koob. Run Remedy makes lo-fi alternative indie with wobbly guitars and emotionally direct songs. Gullivers is a concert and performance venue at 109 Oldham Street in the city centre.
