MICHAEL MESSER & MANISH PINGLE with GURDAIN RAYATTVirtuoso slide and steel guitarists Michael Messer and Manish Pingle (pronounced ‘Pinglay’) come together to present a musical exploration of eastern and western sounds. Formed in 2013 after meeting at a festival in Mumbai, the two musicians performed together for the first time in London to a sell-out crowd, seamlessly blending Delta blues with Hindustani classical music. Alongside highly-respected tabla player Gurdain Rayatt, the musicians present a show of instrumental brilliance with musical connections that flow from the Ganges to the Mississippi.

"Now then Ken" ..... Next time we will play in the north. We are playing in Stourbridge on the 17th, but that's as far north as we go on this one.

They are worth travelling to hear. I'll see you at Stourbridge (I have a ticket for Salisbury but I can't make that one now).

Hello Michael, we were at the gig in Salisbury last night, it was wonderful and really inspiring. The fusion of instruments really brought out the trancelike and dreamlike nature of the old blues, we could have listened for ever. Best wishes for the rest of the tour, EC
