John Metcalfe (The Durutti Column / Duke Quartet) at the Carlton Club, Manchester

John Metcalfe (The Durutti Column / Duke Quartet)

Composer, musician, producer and arranger to the likes of U2, Coldplay, Peter Gabriel and Blur, John Metcalfe is one of the most diverse and fearless musicians out there.

Born in New Zealand but made in Manchester, Metcalfe studied viola at the Royal Northern College of Music before becoming a member of cult post-punk band Durutti Column and, alongside Tony Wilson, launched the pioneering Factory Classical imprint on Manchester’s legendary Factory label whilst simultaneously cutting his clubbing teeth at the great city’s Hacienda.

Alongside his solo output he has collaborated with a huge range of artists from the worlds of music, dance and film, name-dropping artists such as U2, George Michael and Coldplay along the way.

The John Metcalfe Band features phenomenal musicians from the worlds of electronic, post-classical and jazz, reflecting the trend for a fresh, open and inclusive approach: world class driving beats from master drummer Andy Gangadeen (Chase and Status), dub-tinged deep groove from Red Snapper's bassist Ali Friend and the exquisite honeysmoke voice of Rosie Doonan.
