The Saw Doctors will perform at Castlefield Bowl on Saturday as part of the city’s annual concert series, Sounds of the City.

The Celtic rock band will make their way up north this weekend following a captivating performance at Glastonbury. They will then be spreading their charm throughout the UK, including a headline performance in London in November.

Founded in 1986, the award-winning band’s hits include their all-time best single ‘I Useta Lover’ and three Number One hits in the Republic of Ireland.

The band have also revealed a special guest for their headline concert at Castlefield Bowl, confirming Daimen Dempsey will be their support act when they visit Manchester once more.
