Formed out of a mutual love for the golden age of rock n’ roll, Michael Kirby & The Cottonmen is the brainchild of re-united childhood friends Michael Kirby and Jonny Wright. They met in the late 90’s as part of a boy band venture from pop-mogul Nigel Martin-Smith and bonded in the rehearsal rooms that sprang up in the iconic, disused cotton mills of central Manchester.
Their sound blends timeless melodies with northern authenticity, fusing the elegance of 50s and 60s pop with the indie spirit of Manchester. It’s a songwriting partnership where Kirby’s quivering vibrato serves as the perfect foil for the charms of storied session songwriter Jonny Wright, whose credits span from Aurora and Birdy to Ronan Keating and plenty in-between.
