MUSIC: Clara Sanabras with Harvey Brough
Saturday 11 February 8pm
Catalan passion meets a bluesy urban cool in the spellbindingly original music of singer-songwriter Clara Sanabras and her band. Teaming up with guitarist and producer Harvey Brough (Harvey and the Wallbangers), singer-songwriter Clara Sanabras creates music that is a fusion of haunting melody and brilliant storytelling, delivered with an unforgettable voice.
Her musical influences - she plays baroque guitar, charango and Indian harmonium - are as varied and international as her background. Born in France, raised in Barcelona and now a Londoner, Clara has performed at prestigious international festivals including Glastonbury, London Jazz Festival and Womad. She is the featured singer in the forthcoming Hollywood movie Cristiada, with soundtrack by James Horner (Titanic).
'I love the songs, I love the arrangements... fabulous' Lee Hall, writer of Billy Elliott
'A big hit with Radio 2 listeners, folkies, Prommers, Jools-watchers, Womad-goers.' The Guardian
'A whole shelf above Madeleine Peyroux - like Andrew Bird's classical side given its head in a Barcelona gallery. Lovely.' Essential Magazine
Tickets: £9 / Concessions £8
MUSIC: Moishe's Bagel
Friday 24 February 8pm
Rip-roaring, foot-stomping, jazz-inflected klezmer and Balkan music from some of Scotland's finest musicians. An intoxicating, life-affirming mix of Eastern European dance music, Middle Eastern rhythms and virtuoso performances.
Highly danceable, and visually and aurally exciting – Moishe’s Bagel already have a dedicated local fan-base.
‘Exhilarating, full-flavoured stuff, often breath-takingly intricate but played with jubilation...the Bagel acquires the momentum of an express train’ The Herald
‘Expressive and raunchy...improvising confidence but with a classical attention to detail’ The Guardian
‘****There is something about this fearless Edinburgh quintet that is impossible not to like.’ Songlines
Tickets: £12.00 / Concessions £10.00

SNYSB and Royal Marines have an amazing concert!
From the Diss Mercury
Young musicians teamed up with professionals from the Royal Marines School of Music at the weekend for a special concert.
Twenty-six marines and three bandmasters from Portsmouth came to Diss for a weekend of rehearsals with the South Norfolk Youth Symphonic Band (SNYSB), which was followed by a concert at Diss Corn Hall on Sunday night.
Mike Booty, musical director of the youth band and ex-Royal Marine, said: “They get the opportunity to play alongside professional musicians and that is a tremendous benefit to them and it also helps the marines and bandmasters who are in training.”
