Bio

Maurice & Mann are a British guitar duo whose music is influenced by a number of left-field music genres including krautrock, dub, avant-garde jazz, folk, ambient and space music, film music and British electronica.

The project is a collaboration between guitarists Philip Maurice Jones and Edward James Mann. Their recordings consist largely of instrumental duets on the acoustic guitar, infused with electronic beats and samples.

Currently based between Dublin, Ireland, and Horsham, West Sussex, they began their careers during their early college years. After meeting through a mutual friend at school the two began holding informal songwriting sessions and soon discovered an enduring musical partnership.

“A hypnotic set, which had us all on the edge of our seats”.
