Jazz breaking news: John McLaughlin, Jason Yarde and Gwyneth Herbert for Norfolk and Norwich Festival
Wednesday, March 31, 2010
The Norfolk and Norwich Festival has pulled of a major coup this year with the booking of guitar legend John McLaughlin as headliner for this year’s festival which begins on 7 May and runs until the 22nd.
McLaughlin is in the UK for only three dates and his concert at the Theatre Royal in Norwich on 12 May will be hugely anticipated by local fans.
The festival has a strong jazz component to it this year with other featured artists including Antonio Forcione and his quartet (Norwich Playhouse, 7 May), Jason Yarde’s Trio Wah (17 May, Norwich Playhouse), Gwyneth Herbert, Norwich Playhouse (19 May) and Arve Henriksen and Jan Bang with the Voice Project Choir (21 May, Norwich Cathedral).
