With Support from The Invention & Silverfinger Singh.

Aziz Ibrahim is a Manchester-born guitarist and composer whose career cuts through some of the most iconic names in British music. From his early days with Simply Red to stepping into the shoes of John Squire in The Stone Roses, Aziz has built a reputation as a fearless and versatile musician.

A sought-after collaborator, he has worked with Ian Brown, Paul Weller, Asia, Steve Hogarth of Marillion, and Steven Wilson of Porcupine Tree, contributing to acclaimed recordings and electrifying live performances.

Now, 25 years after it was first recorded, his long-lost debut album Lahore to Longsight finally sees the light of day. Featuring an all-star lineup including members of The Smiths, The Stone Roses and Primal Scream, the album stands as a powerful statement of Aziz's artistry as both a guitarist and frontman.

Released as a limited-edition double vinyl for Record Store Day 2026 and backed by a full UK tour, 2026 marks the long-overdue arrival of one of Manchester's most compelling musical voices.

The Invention

Leeds band The Invention made their way in the 00s music scene gigging in the north and London extensively, leading to a debut album release through Japanese label Vinyl Junkie, and then a tour in Japan in 2007. ‘Voltage’ from that album also won Radio X track of the week.
After a long hiatus, the 4 piece recently recorded and released a new album of euphoric anthems in 2025. Musically somewhere between The Verve and The Killers, ‘Tomorrow Took Everything’ was released on Spotify and limited edition vinyl available in select independent record stores from Leeds to Los Angeles.
