Dutch Uncles, Manchester’s much-revered electro art rock quartet, a homecoming Stockport show after the return with their long-awaited sixth album, True Entertainment. Taking inspiration from Yellow Magic Orchestra, Prince, Steely Dan, Ennio Morricone, The Blue Nile, Kate Bush and Roxy Music, “True Entertainment behaves like it knows it’s been away for some time, and doesn’t apologise for that,” jokes vocalist / lyricist Duncan Wallis. “Ultimately, it’s written with the mindset that on our sixth album, we’re only in competition with ourselves when it comes to finding satisfaction in our craft.”
Support comes from born and bred Mancunian, Ellen Beth Abdi who has cultivated her own brand of wonky, soul-infused pop. As a graduate from the Royal Northern College of Music, she has been a stalwart of the Manchester music scene for years, touring and recording with legendary bands A Certain Ratio, New Order and performing as a backing vocalist at Wembley Stadium (supporting The Stone Roses) – all by the age of 26.
