About

As January stretches on out into forever let's gather together in the warmth of the Band on the Wall Bar Stage and treat our ears to some absolutely delicious live music.

Gigi Williams (she/her) is a musician and presenter from London. Her music is a blend of soul, singer-songwriter and guitar lead instrumentals. She’s played festivals such as Wild Paths, El Dorado and Kite Festival. In 2023 she will be releasing her 2nd EP ‘Big Picture’, with her debut single ‘Foolish Lady’ having already been played on BBC Radio.

Her radio show ‘Shelf-Raiders’ can be found on Balamii and explores music history through song.
Manchester based, Hampshire grown Lavender Rodriguez (they/them) explores afro-futuristic sounds, spinning plates of electronic dance, hyper-pop, alt-pop with an essence of soul and afrobeat muses. Their stories celebrate the intersectionality of queerness and being mixed-race as they take the Manchester scene by storm with their genre-bending, head-bopping music.
Lavender’s performances are particularly known for cultivating collective joy through a solo multi-instrumentalist setup with encouraged singing and dancing - their credits, as a result of this, include Manchester International Festival, Kendal Calling Festival and Sounds from the Other City. 

Do It Ourselves (DIO) is a Manchester based music agency with a community ethos - it's not DIY, it's DIO. Incubated by STEAM MCR at The Old Abbey Taphouse, DIO is producing a series of pay-as-you-can live music nights showcasing some of the best musical talent around.

Tickets are pay-as-you-can, a model based on (in the words of Blindboy) kindness and soundness. If you are able to buy a full price ticket then please do, you're helping to make sure that everyone gets a show and the creatives get paid. If you're in a good position financially and you want to pay a bit extra - even better. If you need a low price or free ticket, that's fine - we don't want finances to be a barrier to anyone accessing the event.

If you need a free ticket please email jess@dio-music.com
