From Armstrong to Bowie – from Bates to Watkiss. Songs of love and hope, songs of art and craft.

Cleveland Watkiss and Django Bates have travelled independent paths for the past forty years, each imparting purpose and direction to their craft, and in tonight’s concert they unite for the first time at the EFG London Jazz Festival where they will explore Afro-Caribbean, American and English folk culture through song, jazz and improvisation.
