ROY AYERS - SUNDAY 19TH OCTOBER @ ROCKET BAR

I saw Roy Ayers at the Jazz Cafe in Camden in May and it is easily one of the best things I have ever been to. I cannot recommend this event highly enough!

Vibraphonist/vocalist Roy Ayers is among the best-known, most-loved and respected jazz/R&B artists on the music-scene today. Now in his fourth decade in the music business, Ayers, known as the Godfather of Neo-soul, continues to bridge the gap between generations of music lovers. In the ’60s he was an award-winning jazz vibraphonist, and transformed into a popular R&B bandleader in the ’70s/’80s. Roy has worked with and inspired all the greats including Fela Kuti, Stevie Wonder, Herbie Mann, Herbie Hancock, Miles Davis, Donald Byrd, Cal TJader to name only a handful. Today, the dynamic music man is an iconic figure still in great demand and whose music has been sampled by music industry heavyweights, including Mary J. Blige, Erykah Badu, 50 Cent, A Tribe Called Quest, Tupac, and Ice Cube.

Ayers recently recorded with hip-hop artist Talib Kweli (produced by Kanye West) and jazz/R&B singer Will Downing. Many of Ayers’ songs including “Everybody Loves the Sunshine,”, “Searchin”, “Running Away” have been frequently sampled and remixed by DJ’s worldwide.

This event will be supported by The Transatlantics + DJ's Kano172 (Melb), Japeye & Brother Irwin

what a crazy show this poses to be... this is one iconic jazz-funk master i never expected to see in my/his lifetime...

This looks to be quite a show. Dead keen - on my birthday weekend too! 

Edit: Oh gosh $91. eep!

I know. I really wanted to go but the 91 dollars looks a bit tough on the bank account right now.

I recommend paying for it if you can, definitely one of the best shows i have seen ever!

I'll see what I can do if tickets are still on sale then. Rocket will be very packed I imagine.

80 tickets left before it is fully sold out... chop chop!!

Alright, alright! Jeez! Booked and paid for

Mostly due to your high recommendation, thanks Khem! 

*edit* just saw that the same show in melbourne with The Bamboos as support act is $44.50/ticket. Ripped off!  Double the price here. Why is that? In Melbourne wil 400 people be seeing the same show? Humph.

i reckon you might of answered your own question there

twice as many people but half the price equals the same net amount..

im guessin as rocket only holds 200 they had to charge so much for the gig - will be amazing seeing someone like this in such an intimate enviroment.

**note this is not my show just keen for it

Might try and get a ticket. Hopefully it's not sold out by then.

the place i saw him at was just a tiny bit bigger than traffic, it was dope...




awesome, hope you enjoy it.



would love to see the bamboos again, i think they are due over here later this year...

Got my ticket to day. Can't wait.

Cool, I suspected as much. Peachey has no idea what i bought a ticket for... well, he knows the name, just not what to expect. hopefully its a pleasant  experience for him. Keen to see Bamboo's though... keep on missing them due to double bookings . Have heard you speak highly of them also Mr Khem

sway saw him overseas earlier this year , and everyone who HAS had the chance to see him has had nothing but good vibes to share about it. 

this is one of those musicians that is well up there with the likes of Herbie Hancock, Miles Davis, Ronny Jordan and all that sweet Jazzmatazz.

I recommend anyone who has the means, to go see this , it's a brilliant opportunity to experience one of the world's most respected musicians

do not, i repeat, do not sleep on this ~!!! 

Unless she say him for a second time Sway saw him at the Jazz Cafe in Camden around christmas time. I went and saw him there in May based on her recommendations.

Camden ?, Camden will soon be known as Islamden when uncle Sam wins the mayoral election
He's gonna build 10 Mosques, 10 Islamic schools, 10 Halal butchers, 10 Taxi ranks and he's gonna tear down the pub and build a playground...
double

40-50 tickets left... chop chop!!

got mine sorted
