Bipolar Sunshine at the Bench Self Made Gallery

Ahead of their performance and the Bench International Conference, the frankly amazing Bipolar Sunshine treated us to a Lunch Time Live session in the Bench Self Made Gallery.

Tipped for the huge things, Bipolar Sunshine aka Adio Marchant is already getting the nod from leading Radio shows across the UK. including Radio 1’s Zane Lowe, Huw Stephens, Phil Taggart and Alice Levine, plus Xfm’s John Kennedy, Jon Hillcock and Eddy Temple-Morris.

Our session captured the attention of the media with brilliant coverage on Manchester Wire, Viva, Northern Quarter, The Skinny, Don’t Panic and many more.
His debut EP, Aesthetics, is out now. And features popular tracks ‘Rivers’ and ‘Fire’, played here, which have both topped the HypeM charts and surpassed 120,000 plays on Soundcloud.

Check out our video with an exclusive interview and acoustic performance of Fire below.
