With a line up of Folk, Jazz, Classical and World Music, it can be a little tricky to decide what to attend! I was fortunate enough to attend he Spring Preview event on Thursday 7th February, hosted by concert hall manager, Kevin Appleby, and got a fantastic insight into what’s coming up over the course of the spring season. I’ve chosen my top picks of what’s on coming in the next few weeks. Check out the full Turner Sims brochure to find out more about the whole programme.
