Belgium's Helmut Lotti returns to South Africa at the end of October with his latest concert 'Time to Swing'.

The popular crooner plays Carnival City on Friday 31 October and Saturday 1 November 2008 before moving to the Grand Arena at Grand West Casino on Sunday 2 November.

Although Lotti has returned to South Africa several times over the last decade, this visit to the Mother City is only his second in ten years.

His two-hour-plus show?s first half features songs from his latest album including 'Fly Me to the Moon', 'Bad Bad Leroy Brown', 'Mack the Knife', 'That?s Life', 'Fever', 'King of the Road' and other well-known standards from the swing era.

The second half showcases Lotti performing his most popular offerings over the years, from pop to rock to soul to classics, and of course, his tribute to Elvis Presley.

The singer is joined on stage for the concert by a full big band, including his own international rhythm section, a brass ensemble (featuring trumpets and trombones), strings and choir.

Tickets are available from Computicket: www.computicket.com or 083 915-8000.
