OPENED BY ROBIN NOLAN TRIO: Robin Nolan, the former Amsterdam street performer turned international gypsy rock star and prolific educator, is now legendary in the Django world. Always expanding the boundaries of gypsy jazz, his latest release Sin City fuses the worlds of his two guitar heroes, Django Reinhardt and Angus Young. Nolan's critically acclaimed album has taken AC/DC anthems and reworked them gypsy jazz style. Expect to be entertained as well as moved by Nolan's music, which draws from The Beatles, Ravi Shankar, 80's pop hits and, of course, Django Reinhardt.
