The evening will also feature the mesmerising voice of Argentina’s finest tango vocalist, Martin Alvarado.

He is also headlining at the Buenos Aires Tango Festival.

Joining me in the line up are pianist Yshani Perinpanayagam (winner 10th Yamaha Birmingham Accompanist and Park Lane Group Artist) bassist Dave Mannington (founder of the Loop Collective) saxophonist Andy Tweed (member of Saxtet and teacher at Birmingham Conservatoire)  Rob Millet (principle percussionist at Ballet Rambert)
