Bonfire Tide

Indie/Alternative six-piece Bonfire Tide are Manchester’s tallest band of tall tales. They combine heartfelt writing with dramatic soundscapes. 

Formed in the early days of 2020, Bonfire Tide began crafting songs around a premise of emotional fragility and dense, textured arrangements. The resultant music is often grandiose in sound but subtle in its storytelling, reminiscent of artists such as Bon Iver, The National and Arcade Fire.

Each member brings a wealth of creative expertise to the project. Their collective strands come together to form the tapestry that makes Bonfire Tide a formidable group.

They are David Barden (Vocals), Craig Gibson (Guitar), Matthew Boone (Bass), Isabel Williamson (Cello, Piano), James John (Drums, Percussion) and Jay Plent (Guitar, Synths).
