All-female jazz band anniversary celebration

"We want to be an example to other female musicians and show them that everything is possible."

DON’T miss all-female jazz band Heels over Head at The Chairman on Friday 15 June. This concert is part of the band’s 10-year anniversary celebration.

For vocalist and founder Thulile Zama, one of the highlights of their career is the fact they managed to stay together for 10 years. “There are not so many bands that have survived over the years. We have worked for many years to create opportunities for ourselves. It has been a great experience, at times enriching and at times humbling and we plan to continue working on offering platforms for female musicians,” she said.
