Matt Owens' suite Keys explores writing for two keyboard instruments in combination with bass percussion and vocals. Premiered at mjf 2014 at this same venue, featuring the mighty St Ann’s Church organ, this performance coincides with the release of the studio recording, at the same time helping to mark our celebration of some key players featured over mjf’s 30 festivals. 
“...
e
mbracing jazz, salsa, African and classical music to create a hypnotic world music version of the 
Penguin Cafe Orchestra sound
” is how the mjf2014 brochure conveyed Matt’s new music at the time. Since then, his work has been featured in films such as the four-times BAFTA Award-winning 
Patagonia
, 
Best Christmas Ever 
and BIFA double-nominated 
Albatross
, and a wealth of TV programmes around the world, including 
Top Gear
, 
EastEnders
 and the hit series 
Arrow
. His bass playing and arranging provides the foundation for many established artists' recordings and live projects. 
Highly regarded mjf performances of Matt's compositions include the 2009 mjf originals commission 
Ten
, and the 22-piece Latin big band La Gran Descarga, which had everyone on their feet for concerts at Manchester's Bridgewater Hall and Salford's Lowry Theatre. 
In 2015, Matt released his debut album 
The Aviators’ Ball
, combining jazz and classical wind quartet. The critically acclaimed album was described as "
one of the most gorgeous albums you’ll hear this year

Went to Happy seasons restaurant and TSUJIRI in Manchester Chinatown with my mates after exams. Authentic Chinese cuisine with reasonable prices. The matcha sundae was also delicious. There are also many nice Asian restaurants around the area.

Best place to drink cheap, but tasty drinks and be entertained by drag queens. Good music and usually quiet, peaceful company.
