Artist Biography
Available in: gb icon
If you can imagine the most warm and organic sound you've ever heard, then imagine that the same sound is a huge worshipper of America's folk alt religion and, at some point, glided across the floor of a Northern cotton mill, then you've got 'The Slow Show' in one. Or, if a little easier, Manchester's most un-Manchester like five piece.

As a result, 'The Slow Show' are a band who certainly redefine what is it to be an up and coming Mancunian troupe, gone are the days of parkas and Madchester swagger, in replacement for a collection of refreshing and cinematic charged songs that simply grow and find a way into your consciousness. Having already gained a heap of support and acclaim in such a short space of time, we predict big for things for 'The Slow Show' FunkyMoped Blog.

After being picked by BBC Introducing they supported Elbow on Jo Whiley’s BBC Radio 2 Live in Concert at Manchester Cathedral in 2011.

They released their EP 'Brother', in May 2012, displaying more of their inventive instrumentation and touching songwriting. Following rave reviews the EP was picked up by many UK and European radio stations. The songs 'Brother' and 'God only Knows' were championed by Lauren Laverne, Steve Lamacq, Tom Robinson and others.

The band appeared live on Radio 2's Dermot O'Leary Show and Radio 4's Loose Ends then following their successful tour selling out venues in Switzerland, Germany and France they returned to the news that they had been picked by Dermot O’Leary as “ones to watch” in the Telegraph and also to appear on his Sony Music compilation release Saturday Sessions 2013 with their cover of Bruce Springsteen’s ‘Born to Run’.

The Slow Show released their ‘Brother’ EP on their own label last May, and the title track is a real standout. It comes over you like a warm blanky - a song to listen to whilst sat by an open fire, snuggled up with a hot toddy, staring out the window at the driving rain. A beautiful piano intro is followed by a haunting violin, and Goodwin croons, “let’s go back to football fields, and backyard alleyways, before God let you down boys, and took your life away”. Clash Music 2012

Rob Goodwin’s voice might have one of the greatest potentials from a British singer in a very long time and although what he does with his voice is very beautiful there are boundaries that would be wonderful to hear that voice pushed to. A good solid build up, to a highly anticipated album. Music News Dec 2012

In January 2013 The Slow Show found out they had their track ‘Northern Town’ has been placed in upcoming LionsGate movie GHOSTS released in January 2014.

"The Slow Show are Manchesters finest new export music for the heart and soul" Steve White (drummer Paul Weller, The Who, The Style Council)
