Jez Nelson presents 15-piece Belgian jazz ensemble Flat Earth Society in concert at the Vortex in London.

Jez Nelson presents Belgium's Flat Earth Society in concert at the Vortex in London. This 15-piece 'anarcho big band', led by composer/arranger and clarinetist Peter Vermeersch, have been performing their brand of eccentric, theatrical music for over a decade. Coloured by film, circus and burlesque styles, the ensemble celebrates bizarre juxtapositions, moving between riotous groove music and more tender sound explorations.

Live music and the arts: broadcasts more live music than any other radio network. Classical music is its core. Genres include world and new music, jazz, speech and drama.
