Ever Open Door is an eclectic collection of ballads, songs, and folk tunes from an intimate sextet led by the enigmatic sax legend that is John Helliwell. Here, his lyrical and heartfelt sound is bathed in strings and the soulful wash of the Hammond, in the hands of another northern musical enigma, John Ellis. The emphasis will be on melodies and the pace adagio.

Featuring: John Helliwell saxophone / John Ellis Hammond organ / The Singh String Quartet
