Sunday 12th July

The smooth, mellow sounds of Petra Ernyei brought out the sun and welcomed the crowds to yesterday's Taste of Birmingham at Cannon Hill Park. You couldn't move in the Slug and Lettuce at lunchtime as Art Themen played to a wonderfully appreciative audience.

The Black Country Living Museum hosted a wonderful Jazz Party yesterday evening, featuring the talents of three very different bands. The Nomy Rosenberg Trio (pictured above at Waters Edge Bandstand on Friday) played two knockout sets of Dutch gypsy swing in the Workers' Institute. Dave Moorwood's Rascals of Rhythm brought along their straight-ahead jazz, and Brown's Brass Band provided the perfect musical accompaniment to a Charleston Dance workshop!

Highly recommended today is Petra Ernyei (pictured, left, at Taste of Birmingham). She brings her high-class delivery to Hotel du Vin at 1pm, with her final show at the Slug and Lettuce at 6pm. Also recommended are Katya Gorrie, playing the Round Room, Museum and Art Gallery at 2pm, and Tipitina at Living Room 4pm.

Finally if you haven't yet caught up with the sensational Nomy Rosenberg Trio, then don't miss them today. They play The Public, West Bromwich, at 1pm before closing the festival at the Garden House at 8pm. You'll find us there!
