When Jeff hits the drums, they stayed hit!And with his own inimitable style, hissense of theatrics hasentertained punters for years and years.
For one special afternoon, The Strange Tenants invite friends and supporters for an afternoon that will not only raise much needed funds but celebrate Jeff's contribution to ska music in Australia and overseas.Opening the afternoon will be the velvety tones of Pat Powell, backedby the evergreenSka Vendors.
