THE ORIELLES SET FOR FALLOW CAFÉ TAKEOVER

The finest surf-pop band in all of Halifax, The Orielles are curating a weekend at Fallow Café on the 25th and 26th of November. The catchily titled Late Night with Jimmy Fallow will see them headline both nights. On Friday the 25th they’ll be accompanied by ZuZu, Party Hardly and The Roasts while Saturday will […]
*Guest Editor Pick The Garden are probably one of the strangest acts I’ve ever heard. I know a lot of people say that about anything abit kooky or alternative, but this shit’s in another universe. “Call This # Now” is basically the soundtrack to a 70’s game show, sandwiched between short bursts of DIY punk/hardcore. […]

THE GARDEN WANT THEIR PARTY, NOW

LIVE: YUNG – 11/06/2016

– FALLOW CAFÉ, MANCHESTER – Walking up the stairs into the Fallow Cafe’s gig space for the first time, you’d be forgiven for believing that you had come up the wrong way and that this was the route to the stage rather than to the crowd. Entering the room we effectively join Church Party for […]
– FALLOW CAFE, MANCHESTER – Trips to this small converted terraced house in the heart of Studentsville are becoming quite a regular occurrence for me. They continue to host a production line of talented and fresh new bands, a lot of whom are locally based. It’s a cold and dark foggy night, like one you’d see in […]

LIVE: THE BABE RAINBOW – 02/11/2015

LIVE: THE BLACK TAMBOURINES / TVAM / PEACE AND LOVE BARBERSHOP / THE RED CORDS – 24/10/2015

– FALLOW CAFE, MANCHESTER – Tonight appears to be my lucky night, because 4 great bands are playing around the corner from my flat, for free. Family Tree have put this together, along with Bleached DJ’s, who are to feature regularly at this venue. I wander into the converted terraced house unopposed, a little later than advertised […]
– FALLOW CAFE, MANCHESTER – August in Fallowfield is the depths of tumbleweed season, with students having committed their post-graduation mass exodus a month previous and a new influx of freshers still several weeks away. Even Saturday night is quiet, with the closure of the once-prominent Baa Bar adding to the eeriness. However, one local […]

LIVE: ESPER SCOUT – 15/08/2015

INTERVIEW: ELLE MARY

Her ironically titled EP ‘Happiness’, released at the end of May, has given us an insight into Elle’s body of art and the brutal honesty of it is startling and stark. Today I meet her in Fallow Cafe; she is sat in the back corner when I arrive with a glass of wine and her […]
– FALLOW CAFE, MANCHESTER – After scouring the internet, I would like to congratulate New Candys for being the first Italian band in my record collection. If you know of any I may have overlooked, please, let me know. Lacuna Coil is a name I recognise, but that’s as far as it goes… Paulo Nutini […]

LIVE: NEW CANDYS – 29/05/2015

LIVE: PRETTY VICIOUS – 08/05/2015

– FALLOW CAFE, MANCHESTER – These 4 indie rock lads from Merthyr Tydfil are blazing a trail into the bright lights, having received Radio 1 and XFM airtime, with just 5 months of gigging under their belts. They’ll be appearing at some of the major UK festivals this summer, plus, they’ve signed a record deal with mighty Virgin […]

The band, who recently supported Jamie T, is comprised of Leo Wyndham (vocal, guitar), Rupert Turner (guitar), Will Dorey (bass) and Matt Hodges (drums). Their brand of […]
