Jazz pianist Fergus McCreadie and his Trio join the Manchester Collective for a genre-busting concert that breaks down any boundaries between jazz, folk and classical.

Shortlisted for a Mercury Prize, and a current Radio 3 New Generation Artist, the brilliant young Scottish pianist joined the Manchester Collective at London's South Bank Centre as part of their UK tour last month for a concert which ranges from a brand new set of his own, via Scottish and Sardinian folk tunes and some exquisite miniatures by a modern Hungarian master, and on to a quartet by that old master, Joseph Haydn. As Manchester Collective's inspirational music director Rakhi Singh says: "What can I do to hold the space... what we choose makes us listen to everything in a different way.鈥�
