range of more contemporary material from composers such as Pink Floyd to Kate
Bush. Also included are some superb interpretations of “The Great American Songbook”

Manchester guitarists Mike Walker and
Stuart McCallum are both well known nationally and internationally.

compositions and some well-known jazz standards into fresh shapes.

Cinematic Orchestra, Stuart has performed internationally with and contributed
to the writing of the band's critically acclaimed albums 'Ma Fleur' and 'Live
at the Royal Albert Hall'. 'Distilled', Stuart's third solo album, was released
in 2011 - 'this record is a stunning, self assured work that showcases someone
who has mastered their trade and is completely comfortable with his style.'
