SUPPORT: Daudi Matsiko

Inspirational Manchester-born jazz trio GoGo Penguin are set to return to Manchester’s Albert Hall on the 2nd of December, with their powerful new album, Necessary Fictions in tow!

The new album finds pianist Chris Illingworth, bassist Nick Blacka, and drummer Jon Scott digging deep internally to reach “what we think are our integral, authentic qualities at this moment in time”. It’s a powerful driver for some of their boldest music to date, incorporating modular synths, Moog Grandmother, and electric bass into their sound more than ever before as they glide spectacularly from acoustic instrumentation into electronica with drums to the fore. Honest and powerful, Necessary Fictions is the band at their very best.
