Ijebu Pleasure Club ByeBye 2020 Party

  • Anthology 375 Karangahape Road Auckland, Auckland, 1010 New Zealand (map)

Ijebu Pleasure Club

Led by our own Ben McNicoll, Ijebu Pleasure Club is a 12 piece afrobeat powerhouse.

They’ll be inviting you to let down your hair, and shake off the year that has been 2020.

THIS GIG WILL BE A LIMITED SEATING EVENT TO ALLOW ROOM FOR DANCING.

Sadly, among everything else, 2020 saw the loss of Tony Allen, the drummer integral to the Afrobeat sound with Fela Kuti.

We’ll be celebrating Tony’s contribution to music by playing some of his compositions, as well as music he played with Fela, and a few of our pop interpretations for good measure.
