Alt-jazz rising star Luca Manning is an artist who questions rigidity. Shaped initially by the buzzing Glasgow music and arts scene, Luca now finds their heart stolen by all that East London has to offer. Luca aims to cultivate a space where we are allowed to feel; a world where we are free to connect and express, and to exist beyond the binary and the beige of the everyday. A singer, a songwriter, teacher, podcaster, writer, poet and performer, Luca is currently artist in residence at the iconic Roundhouse. Their music speaks in tones that are tender, evocative, often ethereal and draws on the sound worlds from artists such as Perfume Genius, Moses Sumney, Anohni, Björk + Beverley Glenn Copeland. Tickets are banded according to location in the church. Within each section, individual seats are unallocated so you are advised to arrive early for the best view.
