Nizlopi

Nizlopi is a British music group whose folk-rooted songs made The JCB Song a major hit. This Manchester concert takes place at YES, a venue that hosts concerts and shows in the city.

Nizlopi is a British music group whose style draws on traditional music, active since 2003. Luke Concannon and John Parker, who met on a school bus in Warwick at the age of 13, form the duo at its core. Luke sings and plays guitar, while John plays double bass and beatboxes, and their sound blends folk, soul and hip-hop.

Their debut album, Half These Songs Are About You..., appeared in 2004. The single The JCB Song reached number one in the UK and Ireland and sold millions of copies. After releasing further albums and parting ways in 2009, the pair began working together again, and in 2025 they opened Ed Sheeran's LOOP tour of Europe.

Their live performances have tended to draw audiences into singing along. The night takes place at YES, a Manchester venue that hosts concerts and shows.
