Afro Beat at the Boathouse in Ventnor is turning out to be real showtime. Following the news: Live Free Music @ The Spyglass Inn  The magnificent Jamaican singer, Italee, who has worked with Sting, UB40, Dave Stewart and Eddy Murphy in an illustrious career to date, is coming over to Ventnor especially tonight with Thabani Nyoni, to sing with T Bone Afrika.

Kicking off at 7.30pm at the Boathouse of Ventnor’s Spyglass Inn, the gig is impromptu southern african Afro Beat with Djembé, acapella vocals and aims to raise funds in support of an African child.
