When: 7.30pm on Tuesday 27 May 2025
Where: Gullivers, 109 Oldham Street, Manchester, M4 1LW

We’re delighted to be working with Jenny Don’t and the Spurs for the first time!

Based in the US Northwest, Jenny Don’t and the Spurs have spent over a decade building a global reputation as hard-working stalwarts of the Country Western scene, with dynamic music that also acknowledges their roots in garage rock and cowpunk. They will be playing their first ever Manchester show at Gulliver’s on 27 May as part of a longer European tour.

The ’Spurs just toured the UK in early February, selling out eight shows for promoting their 2024 album, Broken Hearted Blue, which is out now on Fluff And Gravy Records. They are returning with two dates at Kilkenny Roots Festival and Red Rooster Festival in Suffolk for May alongside another 30 European dates.

Broken Hearted Blue presents 10 dynamic new songs on an album that asserts itself as a standout on the scene, with its high-octane rockin’ delivery setting it apart from the herd. From the thunderous bassline of Sidewinder to the infectious melody of Unlucky Love, reminiscent of Lee Hazlewood’s 1960s style, each song possesses its own distinct charm while seamlessly upholding the album’s western essence.

Produced by Collin Hegna (Brian Jonestown Massacre, Federale), the album stands as a testament to his meticulous craftsmanship and guidance in helping the band to create a musical tapestry that highlights the talents of each member.

It also marks another significant milestone, with Buddy Weeks making his debut on drums following the loss to cancer in 2022 of drummer Sam Henry (The Wipers, Poison Idea, Napalm Beach). A devastating blow that would have halted many, the ’Spurs instead forged ahead and intensified their touring and recording activity, determined to honour his legacy. The addition of Weeks signals not only a new chapter, but also adds a fresh perspective and energy, symbolising their resilience.
