About this concert
Time (two show options): 12:00pm or 1:00pm
Approximate Run time 30 mins.
Music soothes a homesick heart in an adventure that takes in the story of jazz, from the Caribbean to London. The recommended age group for this show is 6-12 but will be enjoyed by the whole family.
Evelyn, a young woman living in Jamaica, decides to travel with her new husband to England, hoping for exciting new opportunities.
But she misses the sounds, scenery and sunshine of island life. Then Evelyn finds a new market selling exotic fruits and is transported back to Jamaica.
This tiny piece of home away from home gives Evelyn new hope. Over time, she is able to join a welcoming community of fellow Caribbean migrants, and London becomes her happy home.
Evelyn & The Yellow Birds is presented by Evelyn's granddaughter Cherise Adams-Burnett, Jazz FM Vocalist of the Year 2019, with a live band accompaniment.
The show is the perfect way for the whole family to learn more about the melting pot of influences across the jazz genre.

Evelyn Biography
There is more than one artist with this name:
1) Evelyn "Eva Lindgren" is from Sweden, she lives in Stockholm and she was 24 years old when she started her musical carreer. She worked as a fashion model in Barcelona and has been voted 'Miss Täby' in her homeland. Her musical background ranges from choir singing in school to several live solo performances in the U.S.A where she lived for one year.
Her debut single was Funny Bunny Boy, released in the autumn 98. It has been produced by Johnny Jam and Delgado who were responsible for the megahit Barbie Girl by the Danish band Aqua. The single didn't do as well as it was hoped for in the charts, but it was played quite often in the clubs. The next thing we heard from her was a song called Blue Sky Black, a great song which is not released as a single, but was included on a soundtrack to a swedish film called 'Fucking Åmål'. Her second official single was called Play With Me. The song was about a dildo... and one was offered to the first buyers of the CD-single. The whole thing made some people furious, especially in Norway...
2) Evelyn is a young, swedish, 5-piece post-hardcore band. http://www.myspace.com/evelynjkpg
3) Evelyn is a melodic rock band from Lana in South Tyrol (Italy). They released a self-penned and now very rare (and expensive) 5-title CD ("Evelyn") in 1996 including the then local hits "To the top" and "Angel with a broken wing" (ballad).
4) Evelyn is gothic metal band from little town Zbąszynek in western Poland (Lubuskie Voivoidship), which was formed in late 2002.
5) Evelyn was a melodic rock band from Norway. They released two CDs in their own studio in 1998 (Evelyn) and 2002 (Hope)
