ART FIX: 'Come together' for iconic music festival

Friday 08 November 2024


Iconic songs from the Beatles and Queen will be reimagined by a Spanish guitarist at a charity festival this weekend.

Every weekend, Express presents a selection of exhibitions, performances, workshops, events and other historic, creative and delicious content to help islanders get their weekly dose of culture.

Here's what's coming up....

International guitar festival

Iconic songs from the Beatles and Queen will be reimagined by Spanish guitarist Carlos Bonell in the International Guitar Festival organised by Music in Action.

The classic songs will be performed alongside Mr Bonell's own compositions at the Yard at the Jersey Museum on Friday 8 November at 19:30.

Mr Bonell will then accompany violinist Harriet Mackenzie at Lawrence Church on Saturday 9 November in a matinee performance of Spanish music from 14:00.

Jazz, folk and funk music will conclude the festival on Saturday evening with American guitarist Vicki Genfan at St Helier's Methodist Church from 19:30.
