Luke Hart

Luke Hart, a Southport-based act playing blues, country and folk, brings its songs to Gullivers in Manchester on this visit to the city. The evening centres on reflective, melancholic songwriting.

Luke Hart comes from Southport and makes blues, country and folk music. The songs range across subjects from love and loss to carnivals, and they have reached listeners in many countries through social media. The act has since taken this material on the road, playing towns and cities across the UK and Ireland.

I Assume is the second release from the debut EP Arrowhead, following Biding. The folk track was recorded between Kent and Manchester, and it looks at relationships that fell apart and the ways a person can undermine their own chances. Across the UK and Ireland, the act has supported Charlie Noordewier and Dermot Henry, and has appeared at Lewis Capaldi's BST Festival show.

Gullivers is a Manchester venue that mainly hosts concerts, with a programme centred on pop, rock and indie music. The evening suits listeners drawn to songs that are reminiscent and melancholic in tone.
