Venue: 8 Roedean Crescent, Brighton, BN2 5RH Darren Abrahams is a singer, therapist, social entrepreneur and coach, who has appeared in opera all around the world. During the course of his career he has been a Count, two Dons, a soldier, a flautist, a hijacker, an autistic schizophrenic with KGB delusions, the dirtiest man in Damascus, a gorilla, the friend of an angel, an expectant father, a moody teen, a red lion, an Olympic cyclist, advisor to a queen, a fake Italian barber, a mad Russian, a nymph, a sailor, a messenger, the son of a witch, a wood spirit, a game show contestant, a stamp thief and a medical dog… On this occasion, we are thrilled for him to just let loose his passion for swing, accompanying the Big Band. Brighton & Hove Youth Big Band performs exciting popular repertoire including numbers by Miles Davis, Charles Mingus, Thad Jones and Stevie Wonder. Throughout the year the band perform at Pitch Perfect and Your Place as part of Brighton Festival, the Brighton Centre and Brighton Bandstand. The band has also recorded with Go! Team and tours on a regular basis, most recently to Tuscany, Italy. The concert will be in a marquee, just in case the British summer doesn't bring sun! |
