Rock ‘n roll royalty comes to Kettle’s Yard

Kettle’s Yard has unveiled its 2012 New Music Series featuring 12 cutting edge concerts performed by world class musicians.

Anchoring the series on 20 May is Led Zeppelin’s bass guitarist and keyboardist John Paul Jones. The rock legend joins Stephen Montague in an exclusive interview and concert. The evening will end with the Cambridge University New Music Ensemble performing his original works.
 
John Paul Jones is widely considered as one of the most influential Rock bassists of all time. Along with being a member of Led Zeppelin, Jones also has a solo career and has worked with many other Rock ‘n Roll acts such as Sonic Youth and Heart.
 
This year’s series begins on 29 January with four tubas, YouTuba, who meet in the woods for a ‘Tuba Bears’ Picnic’. This musically diverse show is accompanied by text from BBC Radio 3 presenter and poet, Ian McMillan.
