Talented international saxophonist, Andrew Young and his band will be taking to the stage for a free performance at Wahooz on the uShaka Marine World Promenade for a one day only show on Saturday 25 January from 1pm to 4pm.
Forming part of his 2014 Coast to Coast South African tour from Durban to Cape Town, “Jazzin’ Around with Andrew Young and the Band” will see Young perform a selection of rock and pop songs, including Georgia, Baker Street, Still Got the Blues and more.
