DJ Tira came on stage before midnight to a rousing welcome from his fans who braved the chilly weather to watch him perform at the venue’s spacious car park.
He immediately launched into song, sending his fans into a frenzy. DJ Tira played songs that he has produced for Big Nuz and others by other house music disc jockeys.
He would occasionally pick up the microphone and sing with two other musicians he came with before going back to the turntables to play some more dance tunes.
The veteran producer played for up to three hours before taking a breather.
Speaking to NewsDay before the performance, he vowed to entertain his fans.
“I have good things for people here. We have a new album with Big Nuz and Cindo titled Cindo Volume 5,” he said.
