Hosting bands, soloists, the supernatural and the dramatic and featuring the Club Big House Band (provided by Cacophany Arkestra) and fully licensed bar.
The Club BIG house band is made up of members of Cacophany Arkestra, originally formed as a Carnival Arts music project in 2014. They began playing Soca and Calypso, adding Jazz/Afrobeat/Broadside Ballads/Spaghetti Western themes and political commentary to their diverse mix.
