30th – 31st July

EGADS! One must admit one’s age when one has let go an entire 4 days before an update! However, all is not lost and it’s the end of the month! A very exciting time indeed, we get paid (right, boss?) we unwind ( a lot ), Pushin’ On is playing tonight – an insane set of funk, soul, going wild @ Lounge from 9:30pm onwards. And if we’re not feeling all that untamed but love the good vibes and notes coursing through our bloodstream, hang out with Greg Lyons’ Quartet from 9:30pm @ Cafe.

And if a nutty Friday enough, carry on with Ayaschool on Saturday with more than good vibrations – a congregation of the most talented, sweetest, passionate music makers in town – the conclave is CAFE and they kick off from 9:30pm

Peace Out!
