Live Review: Manchester Orchestra at Union Chapel, 02/10/23

Andy Hull and Robert McDowell gather their congregation to record an emotional new live album and film

First emerging from the suburbs of Atlanta, Georgia in 2005, Manchester Orchestra have long been defined by their emotion. 

Since their 2006 debut, I’m Like A Virgin Losing A Child , frontman Andy Hull’s ability to translate his personal experiences into candid stories of faith, redemption, grief and trauma has guided the four-piece since. Oozing out into the emo sensibilities of their hook-laden brand of alt-rock, the band’s ever-evolving penchant for emotionally dense songwriting and cinematic soundscapes blossomed on their 2023 mini album, The Valley Of Vision .

Building upon the epic, cinematic notes of 2021’s The Million Masks Of God , it’s easy to see how The Valley Of Vision ’s solemn, ruminative journey through resilience, rebirth, and redemption has led Manchester Orchestra to a sold-out three-night residency at London’s Union Chapel.

A Congregational church in the heart of Islington, the stained-glass windows and gothic ambience play host to a celebration dubbed ‘An Evening with Manchester Orchestra’ – a stripped-back set featuring Hull and guitarist Robert McDowell. Softly lit by lights at the back of the stage and the occasional flash of lightning through the glass behind them, pensive ‘I Know How To Speak’ opens affairs, with Hull’s haunting, distinctly vulnerable vocals stunning the crowd into silence.

It’s a silence so potent that as the song concludes its six-minute run time, Hull laughs at the sound of hesitantly opened cans – a series of pops echoing through the building from those waiting until the track’s end – sparking a running joke spanning the remainder of the night.

With McDowell alternating between guitar and keys, ‘The Maze’ and ‘Deer’ form early highlights, with the latter eliciting a rare shout from the polite crowd as Hull sings, “Dear everybody that has paid to see my band // It’s still confusing, we’ll never understand”. 2006 track ‘I Can Barely Breathe’ brings one of the night’s most poignant vocal performances, shortly before Hull reveals to the room that tonight’s show is being recorded for the purpose of a live album and film.

Smiles, cheers, and gentle fist pumps confirm the audience’s relief that the night’s happenings are being captured as the duo roll into a rendition of 2023 track ‘The Way’, their impressive vocal melodies radiating through the room. Fan favourites ‘Simple Math’ and ‘I Can Feel A Hot One’ see Hull at his most emotionally tender, before paying a poignant tribute to late Frightened Rabbit vocalist Scott Hutchison with a cover of the band’s 2008 track ‘My Backwards Walk’.

Asking for a moment to be vulnerable with those seated in the pews, Hull reflects, “This is a very special moment for us. We can feel the energy that I think you’re feeling too.”

Rounding out their main set with the ruminative ‘Bed Head’ before an encore of deeply affecting 2017 track ‘The Silence’, the song’s moving outro concludes with a standing ovation. As the lights come up around the stunning Victorian church and feet shuffle back onto the London streets, the sea of awe-struck faces confirms one thing: there may not be many bands made for rooms as grandiose as this – but Manchester Orchestra are certainly one of them.

Manchester Orchestra continue their residency at Union Chapel on 3 October, before playing Manchester Academy 2 on 5 October. Find tickets here

ABOUT JIMMY EAT WORLD:  

Jimmy Eat World is celebrating three decades and 10 albums of existence in 2023. The Mesa, AZ, four-piece’s commercial breakthrough came with the release of several singles from their album Bleed American , with “The Middle” hitting No. 1 on the Billboard Alternative Airplay chart and peaking at No. 5 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, where it spent 33 weeks total and became RIAA-certified Platinum. Futures , their follow-up to BA , featured “Pain,” which also hit No. 1 on the Billboard Alternative Airplay chart. In October 2019, the band released their tenth album, the critically acclaimed Surviving , which became one of three “chapters” of their 2021 globally streamed series Phoenix Sessions that also included Futures (Chapter V) and Clarity (Chapter III ), performed in their entirety (available on YouTube here ). Recently, they’ve released two independent singles, “Something Loud” and “Place Your Debts,” with the former charting 21 on Billboard’s Alternative Airplay.

After sharing news of their first three full band shows in over a year—in some of their biggest rooms to date— Manchester Orchestra have announced that they’re bringing their critically acclaimed new album The Million Masks of God to life with a triumphant North American tour spanning across October/November 2021 and February/March 2022.

The 38-show run will take the band’s renowned live show throughout the U.S. and into Canada, and will mark the live debut of Masks , out now via Loma Vista Recordings, including the epic, AAA radio Top 3 and Alternative radio Top 20 hit “Bed Head.” Tickets will go on-sale to the public this Thursday, June 24.

“It is our absolute pleasure to announce our return to the stage across the United States. We have missed playing together in a communal setting more than we ever thought we could,” says singer/guitarist Andy Hull. “This is about to be a party. See you all soon.”

Moscow City Ballet comes to Manchester Opera House

By Michal Wasilewski

Article Summary

Moscow City Ballet returns to Manchester as part of its 2022 UK Tour, appearing at Manchester Opera House from the 20th to the 22nd of January. The company, coming from the cradle of classical ballet, recognises and acknowledges Russian tradition and will perform two full-scale classics, Swan Lake and The Nutcracker . These greatest achievements of classical ballet provide a unique artistic experience through their combination of artistry, technique, narrative, and live music.

The Nutcracker is an enchanting ballet that tells the story of Clara and her fairy tale adventure with her Nutcracker Prince. Being a real treat of the festive period, it features a grand, sumptuous set and is full of stunning costumes. Set to Pyotr Tchaikovsky’s glorious score, it is the perfect introduction to Russian classical ballet.

Swan Lake is an epic story of Prince Siegfried who would rather die together with his love, Odetta, than be forced to live apart. The ballet is performed in all the splendour that has brought it worldwide fame, and features a familiar and haunting score by Tchaikovsky.

Moscow City Ballet preserves the original choreography of Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov, which is upheld by the excellent dexterity, grace, and skill of principal dancers Lilia Orekhova and Dzmitry Lazovik, who add a youthful exuberance to the renowned ballets.

Moscow City Ballet, founded in 1988 by Victor Smirnov-Golovanov, is one of Russia’s most successful touring ballet companies. It is widely admired for its style, dramatic story-telling, impressive choreography and skilled dancers. Under the artistic direction of Ludmila Neroubashchenko, the company is committed to promoting the classical Russian ballet to audiences all over the world.

Arts, theatre, gigs: Manchester's cultural calendar for 2022

An all-encompassing list of Manchester's coolest cultural things to do in 2022

Manchester is constantly buzzing with a whole load of cultural things to do and see with everything from drag acts to daily craft workshops, but trawling through the masses of Facebook events, city-centre billboards, and gallery newsletters can be an absolute ball-ache. 

To make your oh-so-cultured lifestyle that little bit easier, we've created a cultural calendar for 2022 that's packed with shows, exhibitions and the odd alternative-pop gig.
