A real treat to kick off our latest batch of House Concerts.

Manchester guitarists Mike Walker and Stuart McCallum both have international reputations – Mike for his work with The Impossible Gentlemen and Stuart with The Cinematic Orchestra. They’ve known each other for nearly 20 years when Stuart was Mike’s student. They bumped into each other again a couple of years back and picked up where they’d left off, recording their first album Beholden and starting to gig together across the UK.

Their playing is beautiful and Mike is a great story teller…ask him to tell the one about the coin operated TV. They’ll give us a very special evening.

“Quiet but compellingly lyrical music.” The Guardian

“Grey skies and rain-soaked red bricked terraces as seen through a cosy cup of hot, sweet tea.” Jazzwise

Here’s a recording of the duo playing the title track from Beholden.
