JANUARY SUNDAY  22nd 2023   Velvet Violin cabaret evening, Assembly Rooms, Presteigne  8pm – doors open 7.30pm 

Around About Dusk are an adventurous musical conception playing original music with influences ranging from musette, New Orleans jazz, old time, and European folk traditions with eclectic instrumentation and rich vocal harmonies.                                     Little Rumba writes all their own music and over the years this has developed an instantly recognizable house style which owes debts to East Europe and South America as well as jazz and blues. Recently a musician friend hearing the new album for the first time remarked “I know what this is. It’s Tom Waits meets Tom Lehrer” and indeed the music and the lyrics possess both humour and a haunting melancholy.

With DJ André Voiture Rouge and an Elvis based quiz.                                  Tickets: £12. Available from The Workhouse (cash only) or www.wegottickets.com/event/563841
