A great season of musical events scheduled for Cowes bookshop this Spring

This February sees the return of Medina Bookshop’s Music Mondays, a series of intimate music performances taking place inside the cozy store.

Following on from a successful trial last autumn, this season will see a diverse programme featuring all manner of genres.

Jazz nights
For lovers of jazz the season kicks off with the silky tones of Nina Ross, with later shows featuring the contemporary compositions of Mark Chettle and Jon Thorne, or the ever tasteful selection of standards from the Jim Thorn trio.

Authentic early blues with a modern twist
Singer/songwriter Angelina will be bringing her authentic early blues with a modern twist and on Valentines Day her brother JC will be performing with the season’s curator Paul Armfield to deliver an evening of love songs.

Classic cello
For those who prefer something a little more classical, world class cellist James Halsey will be performing solo pieces from across the centuries.

Italian troubadour
To finish this season on 28th March Italian troubadour Giulio Cantore will be wowing audiences with his stunning guitar playing and charming serenatas.

Armfield: Looking forward to more ‘very magical nights’
All the events take place in the cosy surroundings of Medina Bookshop in Cowes. Paul Armfield says,

“Although a small space, we keep numbers limited to 30 and endeavour to ensure sufficient ventilation, keeping risk to a minimum.
“The audiences all seem to have been relieved and excited to be experiencing quality live music again, there have been some very magical nights and we look forward to more this Spring.”
