JAZZ is a global thing as Herefordshire artist Peter Manders is proving.

A selection of Peter's caricatures of jazz greats go on show at the Philharmonic Hall, St Petersburg, this month.

Peter has long been a big jazz fan, so all the giants of the genre are there. He thinks he's the first Herefordshire artist ever to exhibit in St Petersburg, one of the world's art capitals.

He's exhibiting there thanks to St Petersburg native Svetlana Trevor, partner of his friend Dave Trevor, and herself an artist.

A selection of Peter's work has also been on show alongside those of noted Russian artists Svetlana and Sabir Gadzhiev, Galina Diachkova, Elena Shtokhova and Pavel Seminov at the Pilgrim Hotel recently.
