LEGENDARY singer Cleo Laine and her equally famous performer, composer and conductor husband, John Dankworth, celebrate 50 years of music making together at The Lowry on Thursday.

This Golden Jubilee of their musical partnership celebrates two careers that have encompassed the fields of radio, television, film, theatre and most importantly their first love -- jazz.

Incredibly, they have both just passed their 75th birthdays, but still tirelessly travel the world.

Laine is the only singer ever to receive Grammy nominations in the Female Jazz, Popular and Classical categories while Dankworth is renowned for his wide range of musical activities. For tickets telephone 0161 876 2000.
