Dragons Den backed spirits producers Liam Manton and Mark Smallwood, the duo behind Didsbury Gin and ARLU Rum are hoping to follow in the footsteps of Mancunian music royalty with their first ever release due later this year.
The pair have signed with Manchester based music publishing and talent management house NQ, the team behind Aitch and a host of other talent.
The duo have been re-working a number of classic duets and are expected to release their first single ‘We Two Can Have A Party’ this summer.
Liam Manton said:
“We’re absolutely thrilled to be partnering with NQ, Adex and the team share our vision of pushing the boundaries of musical genres in as many directions and I can’t wait to take these songs from the shower to the stage”
Mark Smallwood added:
“Me and Liam often sing songs on the terraces at old Trafford so this feels like a natural progression. There’s so many classic duets on this album, we’re covering everyone from Marvin & Tammy, Kendrick & Mary, Elton & Kiki to PJ & Duncan, it’s going be a great summer.
Michael Adex from NQ said:
“The whole team at NQ is excited to partner with Liam and Mark to make their foray in to music. This project could lead to more people within different fields experimenting with music”
