See three of the best emerging English folk acts in HOME, the vibrant hub venue of Manchester Folk Festival. This event is a bustling club environment and a great way to end your night at Manchester Folk Festival. John Dhali Over the last six years, singer-songwriter John Dhali has been honing his powerful, sunny blend of folk, indie and soul, achieving notable successes as an independent artist. These include spot plays by Huw Stevens and Jo Wiley on BBC Radio 1 and 2, twice winning publicly voted regional music awards (Best Solo Artist// Staffordshire and Cheshire) and playing hundreds of shows across the UK, Australia and India, including supports to Frank Turner, Lucy Spraggan and Scott Matthews. Frankie Archer Frankie Archer composes and plays with heart and sensitive curiosity. She started out surrounded by Northumbrian folk music, and draws deeply on this in her own fiddle playing, singing and writing, described by Mark Radcliffe as "fascinating and intoxicating". Frankie has travelled, taught, learned and performed in many different places around the world, enriching her style and musical identity. Treetop Flyers Treetop Flyers debut album, The Mountain Moves, "effortlessly captures the spirit of late-1960s west coast pop-rock: the Byrds and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young" (The Guardian) and the band "share with Midlake, custody of a brood of Buckingham/Nicks-era Fleetwood Mac licks, likewise the Mac’s mood of unrequited yearning." (Q). The event runs from 11pm - 1am. Due to the late nature of the event the age restriction is 18+ Tickets: £13.20 including fees
