1726

When the venue dates back to 1726 its best to accept that one extraordinary night of Jazz is but a brief moment in time.

But what an honour it is to work with Chris Denton FRSA and his team at St Martin-in-the-Fields, London to curate and present C…https://t.co/WBYg13F1bQ

Could I ask you to do me a favour ?

If you attend a music festival this summer, drop in to some of the side stages - you might just discover the main-stage Headliner of the future.
