PERFORMANCES

Jimmy Cliff (Monday): is a very significant figure in the world of music: he is a Grammy award-winner, and is only the second Reggae artist (after Bob Marley) to have been inducted in to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He’s also a very significant player in the world of film: he starred in The Harder They Come as well as 1985’s Club Paradise. He also re-recorded Johnny Nash’s “I Can See Cleary Now” which was featured on the Cool Runnings soundtrack. All of this is to say, this is one important music legend and if you don’t have a ticket, you should.

The BBC has called her a “folk goddess and country waif,” and we can’t wait to see her in person. (Also, did you know that if you buy a pair of tickets to the show online you’ll get a free copy of Knopfler’s CD? Aren’t you glad you do now?) CONTINUE READING >
