Formed in the hometown of the original band, Manchester-based The Smiths Ltd revive the captivating and melancholic melodies of the iconic The Smiths who had a unique relationship to Ireland.
The Mancunian-Irish tribute act play Monroes Live on Friday, 10 November at 11pm.
As one of the most influential bands of all time, The Smiths stayed committed to their Irish roots, famously embarking on an Irish tour at the height of the Troubles in the ‘80s.
Faithfully committed to recreating the magic of the original quartet, their lead singer channels the spirit of Morrissey, delivering his signature crooning vocals with authenticity.
They echo the original band's distinct sound including the jangle of Johnny Marr's iconic guitar riffs and the chemistry created by Andy Rourke and Mike Joyce.
Together, they pay homage to the classic anthems such as ‘This Charming Man,’ ‘There Is a Light That Never Goes Out,’ and ‘How Soon Is Now?’
What truly sets The Smiths Ltd apart is their ability to evoke the same emotional connection that fans experienced when listening to The Smiths for the first time. Enthusiasts and newcomers alike will be enthralled by their set list as they move from emotional ballads to up-tempo renditions.
Don’t miss your chance to re-live the dynamic fusion of 1960s-inspired rock and post-punk anthems that stormed the charts during the ‘80s, making an indelible impact before the original band disbanded after just five years.
