This came as an unexpected treat, as Manchester is usually associated with grubby pub-rockers (hello, Oasis) and scally smackhead (aright, Happy Mondays). What it's not associated with is soul stirring acoustic Blues. But that's what you get here.

Mainman Jon Kenzie deserves to be ludicrously successful, with his keening and roaring voice, sublime guitar picking and songwriting ability. It's really not fair on the rest of us that he's hoarding all that talent. But with jazzy bass runs and funky, inventive percussive arrangements, Beggar Joe are no one-man band.

Songs like 'Sleeping City', 'Zabba' and 'Ain't No Way' are just delightful, and Beggar Joe deserve to be huge. Um, successful huge, not fat huge.
