Join us for a night of beautifully intimate musical storytelling from two of the North’s most prolific creative musicians, Nishla Smith & Tom Harris, celebrating the launch of their stunning duo album!

When Nishla & Tom met in Manchester in 2019, they quickly realised they had made a rare musical connection. Over the years, the pair’s work has blossomed sideways into an array of creative projects, but at the core of their  partnership is a deep respect for the history and culture of the music they play, and a preoccupation with drawing out the characters and stories they find there.

Last winter, Nishla & Tom played a two-night residency at Manchester’s Low Four Studios in front of a live audience. In the candlelight glow, they recorded a selection of their favourite songs– all approached with musical freeness, and drawn through their joint lens into a curious, winding narrative. The result is a live duo album, tinged with melancholy and their signature playful questioning.
