Opening the show is a very special guest support - We Were Strangers - the project of Manchester songwriter Stefan Melbourne

Cinematic, arresting, and honest - Melbourne's brand of alternative folk has won plaudits from the music press, and his songs have featured in Netflix trailers

What began as a solo endeavour in 2015 with debut EP 'Before', grew steadily as Melbourne toured Europe solo and with various band formations

In 2017, We Were Strangers released their debut album 'Beneath A Broken Sky', produced by long-term collaborator James Kenosha (Rhodes, Birdy)
