Tamia

The smooth notes of rhythm and blues and the warm Spring air make the Tamia concert a calender event not to be missed. Canadian born Tamia first gained prominence singing the single "You put a move on my heart", the first single from the Quincy Jones' 1994 hit album "Q's Jook Joint". She will be performing at her concert on 26/27 September.

Eliades Ochoa

The heady, romantic beat of authentic Cuban music will full the air when Cuba's Eliades Ochoa, a founding member of the Buena Vista, comes to town. This not-to-be-missed evening is a rare moment in history when we get to see a living legend in our own city.
