Dahlia’s melodious voice effortlessly sets the mood for the evening. Rory has a strong classical style and his renditions are powerful and impeccable. Steve Higgins will display his ‘sense of humor’ during his performance about ‘love’ and ‘being in love’. When you are not in stitches laughing, you will get ‘goose bumps’!

Next Saturday’s show will be quite entertaining, and show that Caribbean men are indeed romantic, and promises to speak for men who will enjoy lessons in the ‘Science of Romance’. The repertoire is drawn from great Broadway Standards, love songs over the years and will be enjoyed by all age groups. The audience will be surely enchanted, and all men- who are often misunderstood- vindicated!
