Free live music night pairing two North West guitar talents, Bailey Moore and Imogen Evans, at The Ferret.
Bailey Moore and Imogen Evans play The Ferret on Thursday 29 October, two of the North West's guitarists sharing one bill. It's a double bill that puts them on the same stage rather than one opening for the other, and the two styles sit at opposite ends of the guitar spectrum.
Bailey Moore is a Cumbrian who's built a cult following by crashing post-punk, grunge and indie sleaze with sharp-edged Britpop and power pop. It's a loud, jagged mix that pulls from the grittier side of guitar music, and he's known for playing it with a fair bit of energy. Imogen Evans, a Lancashire singer-songwriter and guitarist, works in a different register, crafting powerful, emotive alt-pop. Where Moore leans into the noise and the hook, Evans focuses on the song and the voice.
The night is part of 'The Ferret is 20!', a series of special events marking the venue's twentieth anniversary. The Ferret is a 200-capacity grassroots music venue in the heart of Preston's student village, trading as The Mad Ferret when it opened in late September or early October 2006 and making a racket in the city ever since. The anniversary series is supported by public funding from Arts Council England.
