Hidden Orchestra is the brainchild of Joe Acheson, an Edingburgh based classically trained multi-instrumentalist, whose debut album "Night Walks" merges digital recording techniques with natural/acoustic sounds, sampling improvising musicians to produce work of real beauty. Hidden Orchestra plays Leeds "Hifi Club" on Sun 28th Nov, and Manchester "Matt & Phred's Jazz Club" on 19th Nov.
