Millennium Entertainment is proud to announce Ky-Mani Marley and Andrew Tosh (sons of Bob and Peter respectively) will play Wellinton Town Hall on May 12 commemorating the 31st anniversary of Bob Marley's passing.

Ky-Mani's autobiography, Dear Dad, has been translated into five languages and in 2009 he started his humanitarian Love Over All Charitable Foundation. In 2010 Ky-Mani sang a duet with Andrew Tosh, "Lessons Of my Life", on Andrew's Legacy: A Tribute to Peter Tosh.

Nine years Ky-Mani's senior, Andrew Tosh grew up around their famous fathers - his mother, Shirley Livingstone, is the sister of the third original Wailer, Bunny Wailer (Livingstone).

His debut album, Original Man, was released later that year and in 1989 the acclaimed follow-up, Make Place For The Youth, received a Grammy nomination. Andrew Tosh has released seven albums to date.
