From jazz beginnings to alt-folk and electronica, Stuart McCallum is one of the most vital and creative musicians of his generation. An in-demand guitarist, composer, producer and educator, Stuart’s current projects include: The Breath, Solitude, Music for Imaginary Film, co-writing with Richard Spaven, as well as performance, composition, and production research and education; Stuart being Deputy Head of Popular Music at the Royal Northern College of Music.

Stuart rose to prominence writing for and playing with the Cinematic Orchestra, on their Ma Fleur and Live at the Albert Hall albums, as well as on their award winning Disney soundtrack, The Crimson Wing. Stuart’s varied career has involved collaborations with electronic artists such as Jordan Rakei, James Zoo, JP Cooper and Bjork percussionist Manu Delago; performances with UK jazz greats John Surman and Kenny Wheeler; recordings with American jazz stars Ari Hoenig, Ira Coleman and Dan Weisz;  and performances with prominent folk artists, such as Danny Thompson and Michael McGoldrick.

Tonight, Stuart is joined by three highly acclaimed musicians who have all built a fantastic reputation and prowess in the North’s music scene by their own right. The line up of Stuart, Jeff Guntrum, Sam Vicary, and Luke Flowers means that this performance is set to be incredibly special and a unique opportunity to see these musicians freely and expertly perform the most beautiful instrumental music in a highly intimate setting.

The Line Up:
Stuart McCallum - guitars
