With his newly formed project, legendary Manchester bassist Grant Russell brings together two of the most dynamic and fierce musicians on the scene with the exceptional Paul Kilvington on Keys and the unbelievable drumming of Luke Flowers. With a wealth of experience and unrivalled energy this is gonna be intense! Not to be missed.
