I dreamt I played at Madison Square Garden

Mia Chambray moved across the pond to the UK two years ago to try her hand in the music scene there. Fast forward to the present, she has managed to put together a great rock band retaining the name Mohawk Radio.

Touring throughout the UK, our island girl is making waves in the UK music scene. With their first EP 1 released last November and their new EP Curious Morality set to be released this fall.

Mia will be returning home for the Family Centre Beach Bash ast the Fairmont Beach Club on Friday October 4, supported by local rock band The Kennel Boys. (See bdatix.bm)

Mia said: “This charity is particularity important to me, as I have personally experienced and been assisted by this incredible foundation in the earlier parts of my childhood.. I am just honoured to be able to give back.’
