DON'T MISS FUTURESONIC 2005 AT THE BRIDGEWATER HALL
Tickets still available for two nights of outstanding live music from
electronica’s brightest stars:
ROBERT LIPPOK (To Rococo Rot)
A GUY CALLED GERALD
Two exclusives in one. A special past, present, future set for
Futuresonic by A GUY CALLED GERALD running from acid house anthem
Voodoo Ray through the classic drum n' bass of Black Secret Technology
to the present day, marking Gerald's first return to home-town
Manchester in several years. Plus one of electronica's brightest
shining stars, ROBERT LIPPOK from the seminal To Rococo Rot, presents a
not-to-be-missed world premiere, combining electronics with the bass
quaking sounds of the Hall's 5,500-pipe organ.
Sat 23 July, 7pm
The Bridgewater Hall
SUSANNA AND THE MAGICAL ORCHESTRA
JAMIE LIDELL with visuals by PABLO FIASCO
A unique night featuring two of the world's finest vocalists working in
electronic music. Soul sensation, techno-funk pioneer and livewire
showman, JAMIE LIDELL is once seen, never forgotten. Norwegian duo
SUSANNA AND THE MAGICAL ORCHESTRA'S combination of glorious vocals,
electronic bleeps and drones, harmonium and guitar both seduces and
inspires, and their act takes in everything from Dolly Parton and
Leonard Bernstein to their own original material.
Sun 24 July, 7pm

club culture. Relax in the bar while you listen.
