As you can imagine, Flomotion HQ are very excited about this one Sweden’s Little Dragon (who made a big impression with their Little Dragon album a couple of years ago) and the young Japanese spiritual jazz composer, arranger and singer Maki Mannami.

This gig forms part of the Royal Opera House’s Voices Across The World festival (from 19th - 24th July 2009) and it’s being held in the beautiful glass champagne bar in the heart of Covent Garden; it certainly is a spectacular venue as I happen to walk past it most days.

Nick Luscombe will host the event and DJ throughout the evening and after the success of the last Flomotion Live (with Get The Blessing, Ernesto and Bellows (formerly John The Savage), see review HERE), this is going to be yet another special night.

Venue: The Paul Hamlyn Hall, The Royal Opera House, Bow Street, Covent Garden, London WC2E 9DD
