Afrospace Wednesdays at @oldplatesrecordbar have grown from a tiny weekly gig into a joyful celebration of South African Jazz. The 7-piece band features legendary drummer Brian Abrahams (Sarah Vaughan, Nancy Wilson, Abdullah Ibrahim, Dewey Redman, Dudu Pukwana and more) and their 3-year ongoing residency has built up a cult following as one of Melbourne’s best feel good gigs.

The residency celebrates its third birthday this Wed 20 May, but Brian and the band will still be going strong every Wednesday into the future.

Donation entry, two sets of South African jazz from 8-10:30pm, West African food available and Brunswick Street’s best beer garden out the back.
