Kiki Dee & Carmelo Luggeri
14 February 8:30 PM
Four Four Time 09
The three albums that legendary vocalist Kiki Dee and guitarist Carmelo Luggeri have recorded together highlight their special collaboration and adventurous musical direction. The duo met in the mid 90s and worked together on a Greatest Hits compilation which led to them hooking up and writing music together and they are still working away on what they call ‘our ongoing musical experiment’.
Live concerts are very important to them and in their unique acoustic guitar-based show they bring together their original music with some of Kiki’s well- known songs (Amoureuse, I’ve Got The Music In Me, Don’t Go Breaking My Heart) and covers of songs by people like Kate Bush and Peter Gabriel to name but a few. This mix brings the audience to a very intimate and spontaneous evening.

Gwyneth Herbert
15 February 7:30 PM
Four Four Time 09
Acclaimed British jazz folk songstress Gwyneth Herbert makes a first visit to Buxton Opera House. Her third and most personal album, Between Me and the Wardrobe, is born out of the desire to tell her own tales, rather than be known simply as an interpreter of other people’s songs. She draws on a diverse pool of influences including Janis Ian, Dorothy Parker, Arthur Miller and Rufus Wainwright. Herbert’s songs are touching, powerful and often witty stories and observations that make this her finest album yet. Read more about this event … or
Manteca
15 February 8:30 PM
Led by sassy Colombian singer Martha Acosta and swinging Argentinian bassist Don Fiora (Javier Fioramonti), who also write and arrange the band’s catchy material, Manteca represents one of the finest concentrations of internationally acclaimed Latin musicians ever to be based in the UK. They have a particular flair for combining 70s Fania-style Nuyorican beats with 21st century jazz, funk, soul and drum ’n’ bass and getting the crowds absolutely crazy at all their gigs throughout the UK and Europe. Playing with Martha and Don Fiora are Dave Oliver, keys, Vancho Manoilovich, drums, Satin Singh, congas, with the fiery horn section of Paul Jayasinha, trumpet, Paul Taylor, trombone and Ben Somers, saxes.

Edward II & Jim Moray
16 February 7:30 PM
Four Four Time 09
Splicing dance tunes of old England with the sunny sexy grooves of reggae and lovers’ rock, Edward II transcended superficial notions of ‘crossover’ to forge a truly original synthesis from their far-flung musical roots. Featuring a seven-piece line up that saw melodeon and sax, fiddle and trombone nestling snugly cheek-by-jowl, their repertoire strolls expansively from reworked folk standards like Wild Mountain Thyme or La Russe to Caribbean classics like Gregory Isaacs’ Night Nurse. Edward II are long renowned as one of the freshest, funkiest acts on the circuit, sending crowds from Shetland to Sri Lanka, Brazil to Bangladesh into a jigging, skanking frenzy with their superlative live shows.
At the age of 21, Jim Moray was hailed ‘…the greatest leap forward in folk for 30 years’ (Daily Telegraph). His debut album Sweet England was called ‘a revolutionary experience’ (HMV Choice). Critics worldwide fell over themselves to tip Moray for great things. Combining traditional melodies with sampled electronic music, Moray now delivers on that promise with Low Culture, an album of ten songs that defines exactly where English traditional music is at in the early 21st century. Moray weaves a cohesive whole that links traditional song seamlessly into modern popular culture rather than discriminating between the two.
