Octavia Holyoake is launching her brand new LP at Dulcimer in Chorlton on Saturday 24 October 2026, and at just £5 it's an absolute steal for an intimate live music experience. Whether you're already a fan or discovering her for the first time, this is your chance to hear the record in full and get up close with a talented Manchester artist in a proper venue setting.
Dulcimer is one of Chorlton's best-loved independent music spots, tucked away on the high street with real character and a loyal following for hosting quality live acts. The venue has that authentic local feel Manchester's known for—no pretension, just good acoustics and genuine appreciation for musicians. It's the perfect size for an LP launch, creating that special connection between artist and audience you just don't get at bigger gigs.
The show kicks off at 7pm, so aim to arrive a bit earlier to grab a drink and soak up the atmosphere. Chorlton's dead easy to reach from most of Manchester—close to the metrolink and with decent parking nearby—and there's plenty of decent pubs and cafes around if you want to make an evening of it. Get there early if you want to pick up a physical copy of the LP; indie releases like this often shift quick at launch shows.
