Shetland is to host some of the world's finest young jazz musicians next weekend when the Michael Janisch Quintet make their way north during their Purpose Built tour.

An eclectic mix of everything from Latin and swing to soul, groove and the avant garde can be expected from Janisch's band at evening concerts in the Sandwick Social Club on Friday 17th and St Columba's Church, Lerwick, on Saturday 18th, followed by a session in the Lounge on Sunday 19th.

Not content with playing two concerts and the Lounge session, the band will also be holding a series of school workshops and an informal jam session with the public at the Sandwick Social Club before their concert on Friday. There will also be a masterclass at St Columba's on Saturday afternoon.

Each concert will feature support from one of Shetland's up and coming young bands, Norman and the Folding Deckchairs.
