The alias of singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jordan Lee, Mutual Benefit blends folk, psychedelic pop, and experimental recording techniques into fragile, hopeful songs that evoke the work of Sufjan Stevens , The Microphones and The Antlers.

He joins us in support of his fourth studio album ‘Growing at the Edges’, a multi-layered, expansive piece investigating wider musical possibilities then ever before, inviting the listener to go beyond prescribed paths through songs about interior change, onto reckonings with how to live in a volatile world and find meaning.

Support comes from the beautifully moonstruck, virtuosic future-folk of Odetta Hartman and the wistfully introspective and evergreen alt-folk of Euan Blackman.

To celebrate International Women’s Day, 6 acts will be diving in Future Yard (Birkenhead) Saturday 9th March. All profits to domestic abuse charity SAFENET.

A joyful fusion of jazz and Scottish folk music.

We’re delighted to be hosting the award-winning Manchester Collective for another of their special contemporary classical events in their 2023/24 season. Manchester Collective shows always produce incredible experiences, involving music a broad range of music. This show with Mercury Prize-nominated Scottish folk/jazz musician Fergus McCreadie is no different. Traditional folk music meets jazz and a string quartet.

Humans love categories – drawing lines between ideas, people, genres and moods. But the music we love, no matter how old or new, traditional or contemporary, often has far more in common than we think…

This show is bound to surprise and delight as Mercury Prize-nominated pianist Fergus McCreadie and his spellbinding trio of jazz musicians join the Manchester Collective string quartet to blast through an irresistible collection of music that lives somewhere between the boundaries of jazz, new classical and folk.

Alongside a brand new set by Fergus, fellow Scotsman and Collective favourite Donald Grant is arranging a collection of traditional folk tunes for this unlikely band of players. It’s music that goes straight to the heart, full of warmth and optimism.

There’s no doubt this gig is going to be a lot of fun. Come join the party.

The Savoy Jazzmen formed in 1960 playing traditional jazz from the 1920’s and 1930’s. The band play on the second Sunday of the month between 2-4 pm in the Abbey’s function room. Why not come early and have meal.
