“This is my first time performing at Urban Village Fete and an honour to take the mantle from good friend Gilles Peterson this year. I can't wait to bring my ‘Balearic Breakfast’ show to life as a brunch with my fellow Balearicans and I'm really looking forward to sharing it with everybody. Bring it right on and remember, Just Be Balearic!”
