Matthew Herbert Big Band sells out Barbican Hall

The Matthew Herbert Big Band plays London's Barbican Hall tonight in a sell-out show to mark the 75th Anniversary of The British Council.

Reprising last year's landmark performance at the London Jazz Festival, the band will be joined onstage by the 75-strong Goldsmiths Vocal Ensemble, to perform material from the album There's Me And There's You.

The show has completely sold out, but there are likely to be just a few tickets available at the last minute for those who fancy taking their chances.

For an insight into the Ensemble's preparations for the performance, check out this piece in The Times. Journalist Ed Potton has joined the Ensemble and written about the experience of working with this amazing group.
