Supporting Tori, we're delighted to present a wonderful quartet led by Sheffield-based vocalist Cesca Grace.
Cesca is a distinctive and captivating singer, and a fine arranger with an eclectic set of influences encompassing contemporary jazz, fusion and flamenco, backed up by a great versatile and dynamic band.
You may have caught them at our Holt Cafe gig last October. We're really happy to present them at The Lescar.
