Guest support comes from: Shunya aka Alan Keary is a Limerick born
multi – instrumentalist, producer and stringenthusiast. Keary has been carving a namefor himself under Shunya as a growing influence in the underground jazz / electronic scene in Manchester. Shunya’s sound is an
amalgamation of influences, ranging from his early musical background of classical and Irish tinged violin to the sounds of Manchester’s electronic music scene which compliment his highly accomplished abilities as a jazz bassist in his years of studying music at Salford University.
