GDU play Manchester and Glasgow

There's two rare opportunities to see London's hippest Hammond and Horns combo in the north of England in October, as the Gene Drayton Unit play gigs in Manchester and Glasgow.

First up is a gig at Manchester's only specialist jazz club, Matt & Phred's, taking place on Friday 5th October with three sets from the band. No details as yet about prices, so it's probably worth contacting the venue via the Matt and Phred's website.

A day later on Saturday 6th October you can see them at Regal Social @ Maggie Mays, 60 Trongate, Merchant City, Glasgow. The night runs from 10pm til 3am with support from the Meltin' Pot and Friday Street DJs. Admission is £10.
