We are a 6 piece band based in the centre of chorlton, we have been together collectively for one year. In such a short time we have strived to play our music for as many people as possible, from small gigs such as The Thirsty Scholar, to reasonably large sized crowds at beech road festival. Every member of the band works exceedingly hard at creating music, but more importantly, enjoying music as ...it is our joint passion. Towards the back end of last year we recorded our demo at astar studios. This was a learning curve and has given us something to promote.
Our genre of music is hard to describe as we don’t quite know ourselves, I think we convey a lot different styles very well, whilst also having our own perspective on song writing. Upbeat and happy with an indie/rock base would be the most comfortable label. Having fun and expressing ourselves is paramount to the band’s existence. Hopefully this is portrayed in our music.

Join us and show your support :)

Many Thanks

Canter Semper are an acoustic duo hailing from Chorlton, South Manchester. Our eclectic mix of folk, soul and jazz are underpinned by bold and intricate harmonies, giving our sound a unique, live lounge style quality. Influenced by artists such as Florence and the Machine, Eva Cassidy and The Civil Wars, we strive to make music that captivates new audiences with soulful vocals and emotive melodies. 
Starting out as a duo in 2012 we have gone from bedroom rehearsals to performing at nights put on by up and coming label Scruff of the Neck Records and gigging prolifically around greater Manchester at Acoustic nights and new music events. Recent gigs include Pop Up Festival, Night and Day cafe, Matt and Phreds and Headlander festival. Last April saw the release of our EP 'Halflight' launched at the popular venue The Castle Hotel, we released our first single to Itunes in November also. We are performing for Sofar Sounds this month and working towards our next self-produced music event.
