LIVE REVIEW: Chloe Slater @ Manchester Gorilla
Chloe Slater is one of the most talked about Mancunian newcomers. The blend of Indie Pop melodies and poignant songwriting that talks about personal, social and political issues on her February EP 'Love Me Please' has been making waves. She has gone from playing small halls in Manchester to now taking on one of the city’s most famous venues on her own UK headline tour.
