The Gig Cartel in association with Manhaton Records<\/strong> present a nationwide UK tour in October 2019 with\nRobin Trower, Maxi Priest <\/strong>and Livingstone Brown. <\/strong>The three musicians have joined forces on anew album, \u201cUnited State of Mind\u201d, <\/strong>released later in the year.

Here we have two of the UK\u2019s music legends, Robin Trower <\/strong>\nand Maxi Priest<\/strong>. Musically worlds apart I hear you say? After a chance meeting at\nLivingstone Brown\u2019s<\/strong> recording studio in Brixton, this unlikely duo hit it off. Both are directly influenced by soul and gospel music and still share a mutual passion for the genre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Livingstone (producer for Ed Sheeran, Chronixx, Corrine Bailey Rae, The Waterboys, Bill Withers) half-jokingly suggested, \u201cWhy don\u2019t we write a song together?\u201d, Robin and Maxi looked at each other and said, \u201cWhy not?\u201d. If you’re a\n multi-million selling award winning artist who’s been there and very much done it, why not try something totally different?\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robin, Maxi and Livingston went even further, striking up a very productive joint songwriting partnership, that quickly developed over a dozen new songs. Each song showcased Maxi’s silky soulful vocal tone, and of course Trower’s soulful\n guitar playing, along with Livingstone\u2019s Midas touch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robin and Maxi were both born in Lewisham hospital. From these humble beginnings, both went on to enjoy glittering careers both at home and in the USA. Maxi and his hits, including his well-known USA Billboard No.1 single \u201cClose to You\u201d from the album \u201cBonafide\u201d. Trower\u2019s album \u201cBridge Of Sighs\u201d, went Gold selling millions of albums. \u201cBridge of Sighs\u201d influenced millions of budding guitarists to pick up a guitar for the very first time. In the 90\u2019s Livingstone played in Robin\u2019s band and co-produced Robin\u2019s highly rated 20th<\/sup> Century Blues Album.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
