Ethiopian/British Jazz/folk trio HAIKIS TRIOKA,
Vietnamese singers HA & CHI,

Chill in the Park boasts an intimate, family-friendly atmosphere in Nottingham’s most popular and beautiful public park. For those who like outdoor music events, Chill in the Park 2006 will be a key date in Nottingham’s events diary.
