[caption id="attachment_138920" align="aligncenter" width="475" caption="Claude Bourbon"][/caption] Organisers of a monthly live music slot in Shropshire are going from strength to strength, with a host of performances lined up.
A community centre in Shropshire that is used for monthly gigs by players from across the world has been given the seal of approval by two recent performers.
Claude Bourbon, a jazz-influenced folk star with French and Swiss roots, played the Broseley Birchmeadow Centre earlier this month and said he was impressed by the venue.
His concert featured a special guest slot from young local artists Ffion Davies and Tom Andrews.
Concert organiser Caroline Bagnall, a primary school teacher in Broseley, said Mr Bourbon had been delighted to play the venue.
She added: "We have a programme of exceptional concerts and the venue is very popular with our artists. We recently hosted a concert by Otis Gibbs, who said we were among his favourite venues of the year."
Forthcoming gigs at the venue include an appearance on March 26 by Matt Andersen, a Canadian blues/rock/folk singer; a concert on May 14 by New York singer/songwriter Peter Case and a gig on June 25 by Will Scott, writer of Gnawbone.
