Sean Shibe joins forces with Manchester Collective for the first time as they embark on a tour across the UK, with Sean performing on both the classical and electric guitar alongside an all-star string quartet lineup.

The 8‑date tour begins in Bristol on 3 May, and sees the group travel to Cardiff on 4 May, Saffron Walden on 5 May, Nottingham on 9 May, Leeds on 10 May, Salford on 11 May, Liverpool on 12 May, and concludes in London at Queen Elizabeth Hall on 13 May.
