Experience the powerful fusion of classic and indie rock with folk, blues and progressive rock as The Reformers of Peterloo showcase Peterloo in Rock.   This electrifying show commemorates the anniversary of the Peterloo Massacre, taking place in Manchester on 16th August.

The show begins in the immediate aftermath of the 1819 massacre, guiding the audience through pivotal reforms of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and culminating in the present day. The principal writer and composer, Robert Carter explains that the early reformers were looking for many things that have now been changed, such as:

* Fairer distribution of parliamentary seats

* A voice for the working people of the north

* Universal suffrage including a vote for all

* Abolition of the corn laws to allow affordable food

* Greater equality

Despite these historical efforts, Carter poignantly highlights that the struggle for equality continues, as those in power often prioritise their own interests over the welfare of ordinary people. The rich continue to get richer while the poor struggle to make ends meet. In effect, at the root of everything, nothings really changed. This enduring theme of ‘nothing’s changed’ resonates throughout the music, offering a reflective and thought-provoking experience.

It promises to be emotional, educational and extremely entertaining.  Don’t miss this unique opportunity to witness a musical journey that blends historical significance with contemporary relevance, all set to an unforgettable soundtrack.

Mark your calendars for 16th August and join us in Manchester for an afternoon and/or night of music, history, and powerful storytelling. This is an event you won’t want to miss!
