Two hugely accomplished sets from the Nomy Rosenberg Trio, at the Brindley Place Bandstand, yesterday evening. A large, enthusiastic crowd was treated to some of the finest Gypsy swing around, effortlessly played by three world class performers who seem to have this music in their blood. Passers by who stumbled across the show couldn't help hanging around to listen and many of them were clearly in awe of Nomy's technical prowess on the fretboard. The trio ran through many of the tracks from their debut Big Bear release, including 'Swing 48', 'My Bossa' and 'Claire de Lune'. And did I mention that like almost every event at this festival the show was completely free?
If you missed it, or can't wait to hear more, then the Trio are playing at the Mailbox at 12.30pm today and at the Garden House at 8pm on Sunday.
Other highlights today include the singer Petra Ernyei, who will be performing at Taste at 12pm (£10/£12) and at the Bohemia Restaurant at 7.30pm (free). And don't miss the wonderfully original saxophonist Art Themen who'll be playing for free at the Brindley Place Bandstand at 1pm and at the Garden House at 7.30pm.
Check out the website for full listings or pick up a free programme, available from all the usual outlets.
N.B. I bumped into the indefatigable Becky Brine at the City Inn hotel yesterday afternoon. She's performed to early morning commuters at Snow Hill Station, to the nighthawks at the Stageside Bar and to appreciative audiences in between, as well.....and she's still full of energy and clearly loving every minute of this fantastic festival!
