Live at Robert Johnson presents Tyneside Soul, the latest EP from Geoff Kirkwood aka. Man Power. Deeply rooted in the industrial heritage of Tyneside, the release reflects the grit and introspection of its creator’s northern British origins.
“Steel Cathedral” opens with driving momentum, shimmering layers, and an expansive atmosphere reminiscent of towering steelworks and their enduring legacy. This is music that feels grand yet human—a celebration of strength forged in fire.
On the flip side, “Inner Space” shifts the focus inward. Over ten hypnotic minutes, it carves out a meditative journey through pulsating grooves and ethereal textures, drawing the listener into a deep, reflective state.
Tyneside Soul bridges the industrial and the introspective, blending power and nuance in a way only Manpower can. It is a perfect fit for the Live at Robert Johnson ethos.
