Aziz Ibrahim plays The Ferret with his full band to celebrate the 25th anniversary of his debut album 'Lahore to Longsight'.
Aziz Ibrahim plays The Ferret on Saturday 7 November, as part of his UK tour for the album Lahore to Longsight. He'll be performing with a full band, and the set is built around the new record.
If the name doesn't ring a bell, the CV might. Ibrahim is a Manchester-born guitarist and composer who's spent his career working alongside some of the biggest names in British music. He started out with Simply Red and later stepped in as John Squire in The Stone Roses, and since then he's collaborated with Ian Brown, Paul Weller, Asia, Steve Hogarth of Marillion, and Steven Wilson of Porcupine Tree. He's spent a lot of time as a sought-after sideman, so this is a chance to hear him out front.
Lahore to Longsight is a bit of a strange one: it's his debut album, but it was first recorded 25 years ago. It's only now seeing the light of day, and it features a heavy-hitting lineup with members of The Smiths, The Stone Roses, and Primal Scream. It came out as a limited-edition double vinyl for Record Store Day 2026, and this full-band tour is the live counterpart to that release.
