Lineup
Aziz Ibrahim
Aziz Ibrahim is one of British music's most distinctive guitarists — born in Longsight, Manchester, to Pakistani parents, his playing carries the heritage of two worlds. Fluid, emotive, and always reaching beyond genre boundaries, his sound is immediately recognisable. He came to international attention as lead guitarist for Simply Red, before joining the legendary Stone Roses in 1996, stepping into one of the most storied positions in British rock. Since then he's performed and recorded with Ian Brown, Paul Weller, Steven Wilson and Asia, and is a core member of the H Band alongside Marillion's Steve Hogarth. Now, with new solo work that reflects decades of craft and a deeply personal vision, Aziz Ibrahim is writing the most compelling chapter of his career yet.
Standard Sound Project
Led by singer-songwriter Reid Currie, Standard Sound Project create emotionally driven music built on strong melodies, honest lyrics and understated production. Their sound blends indie, alternative and pop, always keeping emotion and songwriting at the core. The band are currently working towards the release of a debut EP, followed by their first full album planned for early next year, marking the next stage in their development as an honest and emotionally grounded band.
