Loose Ends - Hangin' On a String

Loose Ends

The soulful hip hop trailblazers play a hometown show headlined by grime legend Ghetts. Plus 80s R&B stars Loose Ends and support from the next generation of Manchester talent.

Children of Zeus are back in their hometown with a celebration of hip hop from the past, present and future featuring the legendary Loose Ends. Topping the bill is one of the UK’s finest MCs – very special guest Ghetts.

Children of Zeus is a collaboration between two Manchester-based artists: DJ, producer and rapper Konny Kon and producer, soul singer and rapper Tyler Daley. In 2018, they burst on to the city’s music scene with Travel Light – an irresistible, soul-infused, hip hop debut. In 2021, the critically acclaimed duo released the equally impressive follow-up Balance and embarked on a UK and European tour.

For one night only, Children of Zeus take us on a journey through hip hop. Discover the sounds of the future with support from some of the North’s hottest up-and-coming artists – Gyalex, \[ K S R \], Akemi Fox and KinKai – and go back to its roots with R&B pioneers Loose Ends.

Finally, Children of Zeus take to the stage for a full set before grime king Ghetts closes up a night to remember.

This is a 16+ event.

One of the most successful UK soul bands of the 1980s, Loose Ends first hit the charts in 1985 with 'Hanging on a String' which went to number one in the USA and hit the national top 10 in the UK. More hits followed on both sides of the Atlantic with 'Magic Touch', 'Slow Down' and 'Watching You (Watching Me)'.

In 1990 two of the original members, Jane Eugene and Steve Nichol, left the band and were replaced with Linda Carriere and Sunay Suleyman, who joined founding member Carl McIntosh, and who have now brought Loose Ends back to overwhelming demand.
