Two time Grammy award winning artistes Arrested Development brought the stage to life on the 22nd of October at the CR&FC with their unique blend of pan-African beats, soulful sounds and smooth rap sessions. 

'Speech' and the band delivered effortless performances, belting out their famous hits “Tennessee”, “People Everyday” and “Mr. Wendall”. 

The crowd were ecstatic to groove along to an incredible playlist of 90s tunes. No lip-syncing, no gimmicks needed, the band proved why thirty years on they’re still a household name.
