Manchester gigs - Fanny Lumsden

Fanny Lumsden to headline Manchester gig following cover of Gotye classic

Acclaimed Australian singer-songwriter Fanny Lumsden will headline at Manchester’s YES in August.  The Manchester gig follows her recent return with her first new music since her 2023 ARIA, AIR and Golden Guitar Award-winning album Hey Dawn.

She recently delivered a fresh take on Gotye’s global hit Somebody That I Used To Know (featuring Kimbra), joined for the first time on record by her full live band, The Prawn Stars.

Produced by Matt Fell, Dan Freeman and Fanny Lumsden, and mastered by William Bowden, who worked on the original Gotye version, the track captures the dynamic energy of her live shows.

Speaking about the inspiration behind the release, Fanny Lumsden said, “After doing our own version of Somebody That I Used To Know on ABC’s Spicks and Specks last year, we started adding it to our live show, and have loved playing around with it so much that we thought it about time we recorded it! It’s the first song that has my whole live touring band on it, and it makes me so happy that each of these people I spend so much time with on the road, brought a little of themselves to the song. We also wanted to feature the harmonies, which are a big thing for us live.”

The accompanying video, filmed in Australia’s Upper Murray region, was directed and produced by Fanny Lumsden and Dan Stanley Freeman.

Fanny and band are currently working on new music, set for release later this year.
