Info
The Bevis Frond with special guest Gerard Love at YES, Manchester, on 5 June 2026 at 6:00 pm.
Formed in 1986 in Walthamstow, London, The Bevis Frond is essentially the solo project of guitarist and singer-songwriter Nick Saloman, though over time the live band expanded to include other musicians.
Saloman built the project around a do-it-yourself ethos: after a serious motorbike accident in 1982 restricted the mobility of his left arm, he used his compensation to buy a four-track portastudio and begin recording music himself. This lo-fi, home-studio root helped shape The Bevis Frond’s sound.
By 2024 the band had released more than twenty studio albums, with the most recent being Focus on Nature (2024) on Fire Records in the UK.
Special guest is Gerard Love. Gerard Love is a Glasgow-based singer-songwriter best known for co-founding Teenage Fanclub in 1989. Over nearly three decades with the band he contributed many songs before departing in 2018.
In 2012 he issued his debut solo album under the name Lightships. The album Electric Cables showcased a softer, looser side of his songwriting: melodies, flutes, and atmospheric elements in contrast to the more guitar-driven sound of Teenage Fanclub.
Love is currently putting the finishing touches to a new album, produced by Bill Ryder-Jones, under the name Gerard Love & The Magic Influence.
