Greg Georgiades & the Ultra Natives LIVE

Ultra Natives are one of the most refreshing groups to grow out of the South African and international music scene. This is owing to the fact that the group mission is to discover and play extremely exciting, catchy and unique music with complete disregard for genre and its pigeonhole restriction of music. Audiences are continually

amazed and transported by the creativity and huge talent of the members of the group and the unusual and entertaining use of vocals with electric and acoustic guitars, ukuleles, banjo, bass, drums and percussion.

Expect to be uplifted and transported across the borders of genre to a place of delirious freedom of hearts, souls and feet!

NOT TO BE MISSED!

Saturday 3 August • 8pm
