The Complete Kismet Acoustic recordings were all captured in live performance.

It is an acoustic stripped down incarnation of my debut album Kismet just like my audience would witness when I perform in my much favoured combination of two acoustic guitars and three voices.

The recordings were done in two stages. The first with dear friends in Los Angeles USA and the second half with homies in Manchester UK.
