Winter Chill-out concerts

Julia from Toi Toi - Washington Valley

Don't rush home after work, chill out at Sundial Square, Richmond.
This Thursday, July 21, a local band called A Little will entertain you with their upbeat music. And while you relax, your kids can enjoy facilitated and free games.
A Little is a young 3-piece band (a lead singer, guitar and percussion) that was established after open mic jams.
They mostly play upbeat grovy internationally known songs, so you are in for a real treat!
The band is a mix of styles, people and characters: the lead singer is originally from Canada, the guitar player is from Brazil and the percussionist is from Auckland. This mix brings quite an interesting vibe to their music, that's for sure.
