Budapest Caf� Orchestra
Whiz-kid violinist Chris Garrick went down such a storm last time round in 2011with his Budapest buddies that we just had to invite them back.
This is gypsy music rather than jazz - but of course he can play anything as he proved during his previous memorable visits in 2004/05/06. He truly is one of Europe's most celebrated jazz violinists and we have also invited him to give his hour-long illustrated talk on the history of the jazz violin which we had the good fortune to hear earlier this year at the Yehudi Menuhin School in Surrey.
So, you can turn up for the concert at 8pm or arrive at 5.30 pm for the talk, followed by a delicious Hungarian goulash supper at 6.30 pm and stay for the concert.
