Manchester Improvisation Festival 2026

Will Tang Clan

Hong Kong harmonica legend Will Tang is joined by Cinematic Orchestra drummer Luke Flowers along with some of Manchester's finest new players. A world class combo that has toured internationally. Sharing a common language that can be found in the Blues. They say Blues is a feeling, and the Will Tang Clan is ready to journey to wherever the music takes them, it's a foundation of Blues with the improvisational approach of Jazz, which gives a freedom to explore - from low down and dirty, to high into ethereal space. Put simply, It's going to be a vibe! The music is a communication through improvisation that draws from the very roots of modern music, it is a personal conversation in Blues and Jazz, and an experiment with the nuances of musical expression, in search of the alchemy of Soul.
