Catch Tommy Emmanuel Live in Johor Bahru this October with a special appearance by Roger Wang!
Two-time Grammy Nominee Tommy Emmanuel is one of Australia’s most respected musicians. The legendary guitarist has a professional career that spans almost five decades and continues to intersect with some of the finest musicians throughout the world.
Tommy’s unique style – he calls it simply ‘finger style’ – is akin to playing the guitar a way a pianist plays piano, using all ten fingers. Rather than using a whole band for melody, rhythm, bass and drum parts, Tommy plays all that on one guitar!
Catch Tommy at the Ballroom, Thistle Johor Bahru for one night only on 25 October 2010. Tickets are priced from RM30 for students to RM300.
To purchase tickets, please contact Ms Suzie Yap @ 019-716 9900 / 019-713 9900 or email suzieyap@hotmail.com
