THE medieval and Spanish blues come to Redditch's Palace Theatre later this month.

Claude Bourbon, born in France and raised in Switzerland, is a classically trained guitarist.

He is best known for crafting an unbelievable fusion of classical and jazz, with ethereal Eastern influences, Spanish and Latin elements with strains of Western folk.

The unique Monsieur Bourbon is a formidable performer.

He may have his roots in the blues, but he is inspired by music and song from all around the world.

Taking these sounds and weaving them into a performance of blues, rock, jazz, and melodies audiences are promised something a little bit different, something pretty special.

He has performed and studied all over the world performing with top international musicians including sax player Steve Grossman (Miles Davis band) and drummer Charlie Morgan (Elton John, Gary Moore).

He will be playing at the Palace Theatre on October 30.

Sponsored by the Upton Blues Festival young people’s tickets programme it is just £1 per ticket for under 16s (only 10 tickets are available though so first come first served).

Tickets are available in person or at the box office on 01527 65203 priced £12.75 (£10.75 discount) inclusive of booking fee 75p per ticket up to a maximum £3.
