A Touch of KlezOne of the many smaller groups born from the primordial soup of talent that is the 40-strong Birmingham Conservatoire Folk Ensemble, A Touch of Klez is klezmer with a twist. Led by clarinettist Katie Stevens, and featuring violin and (unusually) cello, expect an improvised whirl of Yiddish rhythm that’s sure to get your toes tapping.

Forthcoming gigs for Lluis include a set at the Barclays Cheltenham Jazz Festival 2010, and obviously, playing in the best shop in the Bullring.
