It would be appreciated of a brief listing, maybe 2 or 3 lines of concerts, musicals and major events staged in theatres, and opera houses only, are published for the current and next 2 months so that tickets at reasonable prices can be booked and out of town visitors can plan ahead. Thanks

I totally agree that Supertramp is a fantastic band to have as an influence. I have also been a fan of theirs for many, many years, or more specifically, a fan of Roger Hodgson, their voice and founder. I have seen him in concert several times and that voice of his still sounds as incredible today as it did in the 70s. Don't miss his show!

Hi All! I wanted to send a personal message out there. Nanchang is going through some changes (for the better!) and STB will be closed for a few months. In the meantime, we’ll be working on some fresh new items for you guys to enjoy, and also you can find us at many other locations in the city daily. Thank you all for the continued support! We wouldn’t be here without you. We will be back better than ever. I can assure you.
