Paul Heaton + Jacqui Abbott – Manchester Calling CD Album

A sharply observed, melodic and socially tuned collection, Manchester Calling finds Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott blending indie‑pop, pop‑rock and soulful northern songwriting with their trademark wit and warmth. The album moves between brass‑flecked pop, reflective ballads and upbeat modern torch‑songs, all delivered with Heaton’s lyrical bite and Abbott’s unmistakable vocal clarity. This 2020 European CD edition arrives in clean packaging and remains a fan‑favourite from their collaborative run.
