Romeo Stodart and Ren Harvieu are unveiling an entirely new and exciting live show together.
The RnR Show will be taking their songs and stories into some of the UK’s most beautiful and intimate rooms. The pair promise a show as riveting as it is ramshackle, as romantic as it is rambunctious.
Expect a rich tapestry of new material woven with reimagined favourites from their own catalogues — and a few magical surprises along the way.
With their forthcoming debut album together arriving in the new year, this is a rare chance to experience two kindred spirits at the very start of a bold and beautiful new musical journey, sharing their craft with honesty, humour, and heart.
Truly a show not to be missed.
Ren Harvieu is a singular voice in British music — rich, emotive, and timeless.
The Salford-born singer-songwriter first arrived with Through The Night, her Top 5 debut, which won her an eclectic array of fans from the likes of Nas, Tom Jones and the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra – all inviting her to sing with them.
She has since gone on to craft a sound that is uniquely her own: dramatic, sensual, and steeped in classic pop romanticism. Her second album, Revel In The Drama, drew rapturous acclaim, with Uncut hailing it as ‘truly transformative… a rebirth’ and the Guardian as ‘woozy and cinematic, full of yearning vulnerability’, while Long Live Vinyl likened her to ‘Nick Cave doing Broadway’.
Looking ahead, 2026 promises to be a landmark year. Ren will release not one but two new albums: her eagerly awaited third solo record, and an exciting debut collaborative album with Romeo Stodart. It’s a thrilling year for her music and a fresh chapter in her artistic journey.
Romeo Stodart is the lead singer/songwriter in the much loved London-based rock ‘n’ roll harmony group The Magic Numbers.
The band comprising of two pairs of brothers and sisters have released five critically acclaimed albums thus far including the self-titled Mercury Prize-nominated, million-selling debut.
Alongside The Magic Numbers, Romeo has collaborated with a vast array of artists including writing songs for and with the late Jane Birkin, Edwyn Collins, Amadou & Mariam and The Chemical Brothers. He has contributed his unique guitar playing style to various projects, from Damon Albarn’s Africa Express collective since its inception, to playing banjo, guitar and harmonies on the Spiritualized album Sweet Heart Sweet Light.
Romeo was also the touring guitarist with Jimmy Webb & The Webb Brothers, accompanied McAlmont & Butler on bass duties amongst many others. He’s been producing other artists of late, notably Billy Bragg’s most recent album as well as cowriting and producing songs from Natalie Imbruglia’s latest top 10 record Firebird.
This concert takes place in Hallé at St Michael’s – a former Roman Catholic church, which was founded in 1859 and became the heart of the Little Italy Community in Ancoats.
This is a 14+ show. Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult.
