MUSIC PROGRAM

Every Wednesday from 7.30pm: AFROSPACE INTERCHANGE

A collective of exceptional Naarm musicians, formed to explore, rejoice and champion the rich tradition of South African jazz from its roots in the struggle for freedom to its current sounds under the guidance of the “Born Free” generation. Their music invokes a spiritual moment that communicates directly with the soul and rhythms of all our ancestors. The beating heart of the the band is 78 year old township drum legend and originator Brian Abrahams (collaborator of Sarah Vaughan, Archie Shepp, Abdullah Ibrahim and more) leading the crew on a journey of creation; something that’s part celebration, part history lesson, all pure magic.

Every Thursday from 7.30pm: LANEOUS & FRIENDS

Your favourite musicians’ favourite musician, the self-taught, prodigious and naively fearless Laneous plays every Thursday at Old Plates.   The man has many a musical finger in many a musical pie and continually draws upon his vast company of euphonic conspirators to curate a unique musical experience each week.  From re-imagined neo-soul originals to left-of-centre jazz covers to fully-improvsed anthems to a bunch of other weird shit, it's always a new trip. DIfferent music. Different friends. Same guy. Every Thursday
