Don’t miss this very special one-off gig in celebration of The Met’s fiftieth anniversary, curated by Manchester singer-songwriter and Met artist in residence Liam Frost.

Appearing alongside Liam will be Adam Hopper and The Wimps, The Black Mile, Charlotte Mary, and Denver.

Adam Hopper & The Wimps

Adam Hopper and The Wimps

Adam Hopper and The Wimps have more hooks than a fisherman’s tackle box. Forged in the box room of a Ladybarn terraced house and honed in the pub back rooms and small venues of Manchester and the North of England, they provide a mixture of anti-folk tinged pop and rock and roll, equal parts heartwarming and heartbreaking. During 2024 the band released a string of singles via Sheffield cult label Bingo Records, followed by their debut EP Remember to Have Fun in 2025, to great praise, even earning them a coveted live session on the Marc Riley show on BBC Radio 6 Music.

Charlotte Mary

Charlotte Mary

Charlotte Mary, a country music songwriter from the north-west, has been writing for over a decade. Known for her “feisty country-soaked songs about love, breakups, and the assured swagger of a woman who knows it’s all about three chords and the truth”, Charlotte’s music blends classic country storytelling with a modern edge.

In recent years, Charlotte has performed all over the UK and across the Atlantic, including in North Carolina and Nashville. Her writing style is deeply inspired by the storytelling of Bruce Springsteen and the powerful vocals of Shania Twain. Her authentic lyrics and catchy melodies continue to connect with listeners, establishing her as a rising presence in the UK country music scene.
