Signature Food Festival
Some of the UK's most celebrated chefs are heading north this November, and you don't need a trip to London to taste their cooking.
Dundee Jazz Festival has asked two of the city's own musicians to write something new, and the first of them plays at Verdant Works, the old jute mill. Double bassist Seth Bennett's What's Here grew out of walks round Dundee and recordings made on his phone, set going by Don Paterson's memoir of growing up in the city before its old industries went. Two of the tunes were written at ScrapAntics' community sessions. Some of it sounds like jazz as you know it, some of it is freer, and the band of six has guitar, cello, trumpet, voice and drums beside the bass. It starts at 8pm on Friday 13 November and runs for about an hour. Tickets are £12, or £9 for students, through Leisure & Culture Dundee.
