THE DIARY
30/3 – 31/3
TALITHA TAN LIVE
One of the capital’s most consistently reliable dining spots, Alexis
Ampang’s weekends are when the lights dim, the wine glasses clink
and avid live music lovers come to catch performance showcases
from mostly jazz-inspired artists. Putting a spin on things, local
singer songwriter Talitha Tan takes to the stage at the end of March.
Grabbing the spotlight for her single ‘Okay’ released in 2016, she’s
performed at major festivals such as Urbanscapes and Good Vibes;
here’s your chance to catch her in a more intimate setting.
