His travels in African countries and elsewhere have strongly influenced his music, particularly through his membership of the Pan African Orchestra and Latin American bands and these influences will be strongly in evidence at The Beaver gig.

Also featuring in the band will be one of the UK’s finest guitarists, Mike Outram.

The gig will start at 8.30pm and entry will be free (although a collection will be made for the musicians during the evening). For a meal booking phone The Beaver on 01237 474822.
