🚨Tickets Going Fast Alert🚨
We are absolutely buzzing for the return to McChuill’s of the Manchester-born virtuoso guitarist, composer, and cultural pioneer whose career cuts through some of the most iconic names in British music history - the legendary Aziz Ibrahim.
Aziz famously took on “the hardest job in the world” when he replaced John Squire in The Stone Roses in 1996, having already toured the globe as the lead guitarist for Simply Red. He subsequently became a core collaborator for Stone Roses frontman Ian Brown - Godlike Genius, co-writing and recording much of his solo catalog, while also working alongside legends like Paul Weller and Steven Wilson.
Born to Pakistani parents, Ibrahim’s playing style masterfully bridges two worlds, weaving Punjabi scales and reggae-funk rhythms into hard-edged alternative rock—a signature style he calls the “Asian Blues”. His landmark solo album, Lahore to Longsight, serves as a powerful statement of his artistry, featuring an all-star cast of musicians from The Smiths, Primal Scream, and The Stone Roses. Ibrahim remains a vital, compelling voice in British music, constantly pushing the boundaries of the guitar.
It goes without saying this will be a sell out, so don’t sleep on this one. 🙏🏻

Aziz Ibrahim plays McChuill’s on Sunday October 4th. Tickets are available now on Skiddle via link in de comments and on Tickets Scotland.
