This Week at the Robin

Tonight there’s the monthly Sam Draisey sessions, featuring acoustic open mic sessions from around the Midlands. Admission’s free, turn up and have a go yourself.

Wednesday sees the arrival of a man who has been hailed as the ‘Acoustic Hendrix.’ Antonio Forcione is a multi-instrumentalist and composer whose albums have won awards and topped jazz charts around the world but his music also touches on world, flamenco and classical with a strong element of improvisation,  having worked with musicians ranging from Phil Collins to the Soweto Gospel Choir.

Tickets £15

There’s another newcomer to the Robin on Thursday in the shape of the Producers.
