Inspired by tours to India and Jordan, Eduardo's stunning compositions are interwoven with a myriad of Eastern colours and his passionate flamenco roots.

In an acclaimed 30 year career, Eduardo has worked with many top artists including Nishat Khan (sitar), Lol Coxhill (sax), George Michael and Craig David.

He has written music for festivals, films and plays, including for the BBC, and recently wrote the music for the Yorkshire Planetarium with poet Ian McMillan.

A spellbinding evening of passion, verve and fleet fingered virtuosity from one of the most potent forces in flamenco jazz fusion.

The show begins at 8pm and tickets, priced 11/9, are on sale now from the Island Arts Centre Box Office on 9250 9254.
