About this event

Joel Francis is bringing his soulful, folk-inspired acoustic sound to Mulligans Downstairs this month. The Manchester-based singer-songwriter specialises in heartfelt covers of popular tracks, drawing influence from artists like Paolo Nutini, James Morrison and Michael Kiwanuka.

Catch Joel performing in the intimate setting of Manchester's oldest Irish pub, just off Deansgate. Mulligans has built a legendary reputation for hosting brilliant live music in an atmosphere full of craic and genuine hospitality. Settle in with a perfectly poured pint and let the music transport you for the evening.
