RETRO jazzer Caro Emerald is back in Bournemouth next year, as her UK tour reaches the Pavilion Theatre on March 9.

The Dutch singer is known for her energetic blend of big band jazz, swing and pop.

Emerald last visited the town in April as the headline act for the sell-out Wave 105 Live show. Caro’s debut album’ Deleted Scenes From The Cutting Room Floor’ became the sleeper hit of 2011 throughout Europe where it sold more than 1.3 million copies.

Currently working on her follow up album, scheduled for release in early 2013, Caro is looking forward to this short run of dates: “Britain has always been so extremely supportive.

Coming back again next year is something I’m so looking forward to.”
