Irish musician Hilary Woods brings her haunting, ambient folk sound to Manchester for an intimate evening. Once the bassist for the alternative rock band JJ72, Woods has since carved out a solo career defined by nocturnal, keyboard-based songs that draw inspiration from filmmakers, electronic artists, and folk traditions.
Attendees can expect a setlist drawn from her acclaimed Sacred Bones catalog, including albums like *Colt*, *Acts of Light*, and her latest, *Night CRIÚ*. Her music blends gentle melodies with experimental noise, creating a deeply atmospheric live experience that rewards close listening.
This is a rare chance to see an artist who has evolved from 2000s indie fame to become a singular voice in modern folk-ambient. Woods' performances are known for their emotional depth and cinematic quality.
