MIDGE MARSDEN & THE ROGER FOX BIG BAND

are back in town and in concert with special guest by popular demand from USA MR CHRIS CAIN

On the landscape of global blues two intrepid journeymen have worn a thrity-year trail between The South Pacific and the United States of America - carrying the essence of the music from the cradle of RnB across the oceans to the antipodes.

Two blues giants at play with a great band of accomplices. When the bomb goes off and the dust settles Fox and Marsden will still be standing and still blowing (and still howling at the moon). And they will have survived cutting heads with most every other R'n'B pretender South of the Equator. Stand aside ... game on ... the A Team are back in town and in concert.

Tickets: $57 All tickets and $49 Jazz Club Members

JEANETTE WILSON - EXPERIENCING ENLIGHTENMENT

Jeanette Wilson, best known for her mediumship abilities and in particular her television series “Dare to Believe” returns with a very different show - and promises audiences an experience of enlightenment, a state that is only usually experienced after years of meditating.

“Many people have had moments of enlightenment” explains Jeanette “when they have experienced themselves as more than themselves or experienced a deep connection with all life. What often happens is that we then spend years trying to recreate that experience or have another enlightenment experience. Now in this 2 ½ hour workshop Jeanette guides the audience to experience the transcendental, but even more importantly leaves them with a process they can use again and again to move beyond their limited sense of self and into an enlightened state at will.

Jeanette is keen to point out that anyone can attend this evening workshop, they do not need to have had any meditation practice because the process is so simple it works for anyone who is open to experiencing it.

Tickets: $50 All tickets
