Join us this November on an interactive musical adventure following Evelyn and the Yellow Birds from the Caribbean to England.

Evelyn, a young woman living in Jamaica, decides to travel with her new husband to England under the promise of exciting new work opportunities. Having settled into life in London, Evelyn realises that her new home isn’t everything she had dreamed of, and misses the familiarity of island life. She cannot work as the mathematician she always dreamed of being, instead becoming a cleaner whilst taking care of her growing family. A little lonely and a little bored, Evelyn finds a new market selling exotic fruits and is transported back to her island, remembering the sounds, scenery and sunshine of Jamaica. This tiny piece of home away from home gives Evelyn new hope. Over time, she is able to join a welcoming community of fellow Caribbean migrants, and London becomes her happy home.

Presented by Cherise Adams-Burnett, Evelyn’s granddaughter, the show explores jazz music and its Caribbean influences through this heart-warming tale, with a live band accompaniment.

This is a perfect way for the whole family to learn more about the melting pot of influences across the jazz genre!

The recommended age group for this show is Key Stage 2 but siblings and families are all welcome.
