Turning to the legendary musicians who created the 70s troubadour sound,she says it feels like a  homecoming. "It’s the sound I heard as a kid and which made me light up. I’ve brought it home and it feels nice to be here."  “One of the albums of the year” – The Independent UK “The Welsh songstress revisits the velvet texturing of the classic 1970s  LA studio sound. It is a choice made not lightly or indulgently as Owen’s delicious phrasing  and languorous pace bring out the depth and lustre in her svelte songs.” – Daily Mirror, The Ticket TICKET : 13-15€                                                                                                             Photo Credit : Sue Flood TUESDAY 25 at LUNCH TIME 12.30  De Weik van’ t Brussels TALK SHOW in FLEMISH-BRUSSELS DIALECT Very funny, if you understand (or guess…) a few words of  Flemish-Brussels language… Presentatie: Johan Verminnen en Julien Vrebos More info on www.bebrusseleir.be     FREE ENTRANCE-GRATIS INKOM WEDNESDAY 26                               FOCUS JAZZ - SPECIAL CONCERT  Paul Abirached  - Alain Jean-Marie Duo Paul Abirached (guitar), Alain Jean-Marie (piano) Nightscape (CD release - Archieball, Harmonia mundi) ...the guitarist Paul Abirached and piano-master Alain Jean-Marie meet  again  ...a rare show of finesse and elegance...mixing compositions, originals (Jim Hall, Paul Motian, Joe Lovano, Wayne Shorter, Billie Holliday) and moments of pure improvisations....
