Description

It's a joy to bring Blue Orchids to The Foxlowe Arts Centre.

On his departure from The Fall in 1979 Martin Bramah formed Blue Orchids and set on his devotion to quietly craft a trove of psychedelic visions unparalleled among musicians of his generation.

Despite never quite cracking mainstream public consciousness, Blue Orchids endure as a living treasures of head music for post-punks, John Peel acolytes and connoisseurs of the late 20th century Manchester music hall of fame.

Bramah has remained at the helm, surviving decades and numerous personnel changes. The current line-up comprises of Martin Bramah, John Paul Moran, De Selby Lewis, Howard Jones and Tansy McNally.

Support to be confirmed.

Tickets are £14 + booking fee
