Trio Gitan – 8pm, Tickets £7/£5. TRIO GITAN will take you on a journey like no other: from mist covered and heavily wooded mountain slopes of rural Eastern Europe, through the buzzing and upbeat Parisien café scene, through the classical music of Brahms and Paganini, to the poignant yearning and wild abandon of Jewish wedding music, this band has it all. Sizzling violin duets that will have you on the edge of your seat if you are not already up and dancing. Crafted improvisations, complex and accomplished, yet full of bubbling life with spontaneous dynamic interplay between violin, guitar, accordion and vocals from these maestro musicians.
