CityLife

This is must see show for all fans of old style reggae. The music is fantastic whilst the voices put some mega stars in the shade. It does help if you know a little of the 'runnings' of Jamaican life as there are some insider jokes, and patois is used throughout which left some faces in the audience a bit blank! As it was press night some were there who would not normally have attended this type of show, but as a reggae fan, an ex resident of Jamaica and loving all things Jamaican it was a blast from the past and made me smile throughout. The dancing, the energy, and the warm up with the audience at the start were allsuited to this venue. It would have been lost as a West End show, and yes. there were rough edges, but that added to its charm. Go and see it whilst still in Manchester, you will not regret it.
