An evening of songs, stories, and harmony.

Join Erika Olson & Tai Shan with special Guest Aerynn for a special night at Button Warehouse on Thursday, 9 July.

Blending Americana, folk, and intimate singer-songwriter storytelling, Erika and Tai bring a live show that moves easily between heartbreak, humour, family life, road stories, and the kinds of songs that make a room go completely quiet in the best possible way.

Erika Olson has been building a devoted following through her emotionally incisive songwriting, disarming stage presence, and performances across the UK and Ireland. Tai Shan brings extraordinary musicianship, warmth, and soul to the stage, creating a live show that feels less like a performance and more like being invited into a conversation.

With a “breathtaking voice” that “lulls you into a blissful trance”, Aerynn is a singer-songwriter who transcends musical boundaries as well as geographical ones.

If you love artists like Lori McKenna, Joni Mitchell, Brandi Carlile, Gillian Welch, or John Prine, this will likely be very much your kind of night.

Doors: 7:30 PM
Music: 8:00 PM

Come settle in for an evening of thoughtful songs, strong melodies, and the kind of live music experience that still feels gloriously handmade.

Spanish Sunday at The Button Warehouse | Sunday 5th July

This Sunday we're bringing a little bit of Spain to The Button Warehouse.

From 12–5pm, Louise from Spanish Caravan will be serving authentic Spanish tapas and paella in our courtyard. Founded in Macclesfield in 2016, Spanish Caravan has become known for bringing beautiful Spanish food to weddings, celebrations and pop-ups, all inspired by the simple joy of sharing good food with good people. As they celebrate their tenth year, we're delighted they're joining us for this special Sunday.

We'll also have live music throughout the afternoon from Spanish singer-songwriter Carlos Grassot. Originally from the coastal town of Palamós, Carlos moved to the UK to pursue a career in music, and his thoughtful, heartfelt songs have been shaped by that journey, family life and the world around him. His music is the perfect accompaniment to a lazy Sunday afternoon.

There's no need to book – just come along, find a table and settle in.

Food will be served from 12–5pm, we're open until 6pm, and as always, everyone is welcome. Bring the family, meet up with friends or simply drop by for a glass of something and a plate of paella.

Community and live music have always been at the heart of what we do, and we can't think of a better way to spend a Sunday.

See you in the courtyard.

We're really excited to present an evening of live music and conversation with Joe Doonan, with support from the incredible Izzy Taylor.

This unique event is in celebration of the pre-release of Joe's new EP 'before you leave' and includes a live Q&A, fielding your questions and discussing the stories, meaning and inspiration behind the songs.

With a surprise guest appearance and physical pre-release copies of the EP available at this show only, it's not one to be missed!


Joe Doonan

Joe Doonan is an established singer-songwriter hailing from Leeds, West Yorkshire. Drawing inspiration from the likes of Foy Vance, Passenger and Springsteen, Joe’s songs tell real-life stories of hope, loss and love.  Joe released some of his best work to date, having worked with a number of multi-platinum selling and Emmy Award winning song-writers from across the globe. These included the likes of Paddy Byrne (Tom Grennan, Paloma Faith) and Rob Wells (Adam Lambert, Ariana Grande). Joe continues to receive wide recognition for his work, having been awarded a slot at Liverpool’s Official Eurovision Festival, as well as headlining at the prestigious Bedford in London. Having performed to a number of sell-out audiences as the headline act, Joe completed his first tour of Australia, before going on to complete his first UK tour in 2025. Having spent the past year recording and playing across the country, Joe is set to release his latest body of work throughout 2026.


Izzy Taylor

Izzy Taylor is a 21-year-old singer-songwriter based in Manchester, whose soulful voice and sharp wit make her a standout presence both on and off the stage. Her music draws listeners into a world of passion and reflection, offering a unique blend of power and vulnerability that feels refreshingly authentic. Drawing inspiration from artists like Yebba, Sam Smith and RAYE, writing alongside her pianist Bart Zagamé, the duo crafts soul-stirring songs that delve into life’s complexities of guilt, anxiety, love, and loss. Audiences are moved by both the weight of her stories and the relief found in her candid honesty. Izzy’s ability to take heavy emotions that many people shy away from and present them openly allows her to connect with listeners on a deeply human level.

The perfect soundtrack to your Sunday afternoon.

Boost your mood, meet lovely people and enjoy the wellbeing benefits of singing together in a relaxed, supportive space.

Join me for relaxed monthly community singing sessions at Button Warehouse — an uplifting way to start your Sunday.

We meet once a month to sing for joy, connect with others, and enjoy the simple pleasure of making music together. These friendly, welcoming sessions are all about feeling good, having a laugh, and leaving lighter than when you arrived.

You don’t need any singing experience to come along. Many people who join us haven’t sung since school or don’t consider themselves singers at all. There are no auditions, no solos, and no need to read music — everything is taught by ear in a relaxed, supportive atmosphere.

After the singing, you’re warmly invited to stay and socialise. We’ll have our own dedicated space at Button Warehouse where you can relax, chat, and enjoy excellent coffee, tea or cake together. Refreshments are available to purchase from the café and are not included in the ticket price.

Arrive early and grab a drink in the downstairs bar. Access to the live lounge from 7:30pm

The melodic rock of SCATTERCHILD is best summed up by two words: sad yelling.

Drawing on the emotionality of Radiohead, the spikiness of The Strokes, and the theatrical pomp of David Bowie, SCATTERCHILD's music is rife with frenetic beats, intricate instrumentation and powerful vocals. 

A known and respected figure within the Manchester scene, the project released their debut album An Everyday Landscape in 2024. It was supported by a highly popular tour, high-concept music videos, a sold-out album launch show, and a live session filmed in a church. They followed it up with an expanded deluxe version in 2025, released by indie label Bread Records. 

Fresh off the release of their debut album, they are writing and preparing music for their brand new album, which has received support from the GMCA in its creation. 

Join us every Tuesday night in our Live Lounge for a curated evening of exceptional live music from near and far, hosted by the incredibly talented Joel Gardner.

With all the media attention around Isaac at the moment we are expecting this afternoon session to be very busy, so we will open the listening room at 12pm to ensure you all find a seat, and if you can't get in upstairs the performance will also be streamed live downstairs in the main bar.

There are musicians, and then there are people like Isaac Neilson.

No stranger to The Button Warehouse, we're incredibly proud to welcome Isaac back on Sunday 7th June at 2:30pm for Day 157 of one of the most ambitious challenges we've ever seen an independent artist undertake.

Isaac has committed to performing a live show every single day throughout 2026. That's 365 consecutive days. No manager. No label. No safety net. Just a talented songwriter, a guitar, and an unwavering belief in his music.

Funding the journey himself, Isaac is travelling the country playing wherever he can—grassroots venues, pubs, community spaces, support slots, and pop-up events—all while releasing new music and documenting the highs and lows of life on the road.

His dedication has already earned national attention, including recognition in a House of Lords debate, a rapidly growing fanbase, and even the possibility of a US tour later this year.

This isn't just another gig. It's a chance to witness a truly remarkable artist in the middle of an extraordinary journey.

Isaac will be performing upstairs in our dedicated listening room, giving him the respectful audience and intimate setting his music deserves.

If you love live music, original songwriters, and supporting artists who are doing things the hard way, then this is one you won't want to miss.

YOU WILL OF SEEN HIM ON SOCIAL MEDIA BY NOW OR ON TV - THIS GUY IS GAINING TRACTION FAST! SEE HIM HERE FOR FREE BEFORE HE IS SELLING OUT STADIUMS. WHAT A GUY!
