Chimera

We’re delighted to welcome ‘Manchester’s favourite folk monsters’, Chimera, to the Live to your Living Room stage this autumn.

Specialising in punchy, lively, energetic folk, Chimera will be showcasing their latest album To Welcome in the Summer, as well as lots of your favourite folk tunes.

What to expect: Chimera bring the party wherever they go, and this band will have you stomping your feet and singing along from the comfort of your home!

As well as bringing the organised chaos, this group of young musicians most definitely bring the talent too!
