Martin Alvarado and Miko Helenius in Notingham

Martin Alvarado is one of the great tango singers and Miko is am amazing bandoneon and keyboard player, sometimes simultaneously! They were in Nottingham because Lisa (see Tango in Nottingham Facebook Group) is organising their tour around the UK. Lisa held a welcome party (although it is Martin's third visit to Nottingham) on Friday 18th November which was a lovely informal gathering of neighbours and tango dancers. Then on Saturday the formal concert at the Poppy and Pint pub which was such a good evening. Passionate singing by Martin and superb accompanying by Miko. As well as the passion there was humour in their presentation and a lot of interplay between them. All that great music and we had dancing as well with another of Lisa's playlists.
