Deirdre Cartwright Group

The Deirdre Cartwright Group is heading to the Southbank Centre to perform their delightful jazz.

Deirdre Cartwright is a remarkable and unique musician regarded as one of only a handful of great international women jazz guitarists. Tune Up Turn On Stretch Out, her latest album is a return to a more guitar centred sound for her group.

Her new quartet infuses jazz with the eclectic influences of the rock and dance scene but keeps melody and improvisation at the heart of their music.

The Deirdre Cartwright Group will be performing in the Front Room on Friday May 2nd from 5.30pm.
