1st June – 6th June

The month of June has spelled something special to all of us at one point of time. The time of school closures, late mornings, staring at clouds roll by till the stomach rumbles for the want of food. We offer you to rest in our cafe, a reprieve of endless work calls, the bustle of the paperwork and computers whirring – a lunch menu either outside on patio to see clouds rolling or the cooler interior of our cafe.

MONDAY

Commencing with tonight, we start the ball rolling with OMNIFORM- a marvelous 13 piece jazz band to up your energy and chase the unwanted blues away. We promise you a night of smiles and laughter, leaving Tuesday more bearable than before. 9pm @ Cafe

TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY

If you have been craving for some jazz mid-week, Grooveworks provides the solution to your desire- a casual group of musicans gather under the tutelage of Greg Lyons for some stupendous jammin. Starting from 9pm @ Space (3rd Flr)
