BENEFIT CONCERT FOR ROBBIE JANSEN

Master saxophonist, singer and band leader for more than 30 years, Robbie Jansen will blow you away with his charismatic style in the Theatre @ Bridge House on Saturday 22 May 2010.



Robbie is one of the Cape's leading entertainers and has been a driving force in the development of the 'Cape Jazz Style'. Despite his illness, Robbie packs a powerful punch with his special style of jazz, and still wows audiences with his signature rendition of Georgia on my Mind.
