A monthly night of freely improvised and spontaneous music, tonight featuring special guests John Bisset (lap-steel guitar) and Dan Johnson (drumkit) as well as SWIG members.

​​John Bisset is a guitarist, born in Manchester 1960.
In 1977 he was a co-founder of the Manchester Musician’s Collective, whose members included Trevor Wishart (pioneer of electronics and improvising vocalist), Tony Friel (cellist/bass player with the Fall) and Simon Holt (composer and artist). This eclectic mix of musicians and the correspondingly diverse gigs the collective put on at Manchester’s Band on the Wall was rich and wondrous; setting the pattern for Bisset’s trajectory, working in improvisation, songs, visual arts, and  facilitating events and collective activity.
