Listening to Johnny Clegg is hot because; it warms my heart and makes me proud to be a South African!
I took mt photo with the Johnny Clegg Down Under Tour poster in the Pitt St Mall Nando's
I would love to win the backstage passes as I already have tickets to the Sydney show, I live in Brisbane though so I would love to see him there as well
:o)
Thought I'd pop over to our local 'closed for business' NANDO's and take a photo as "evidence" of our attempt
[with the hope that they might have had a poster of Johnny Clegg's concerts in their window > sadly not !].
It was like a ghost town > just a huge empty / lifeless restaurant !!!
NOT 'hot' at all :-(
Watching Johnny Clegg would be hot because of the "Energy ….. Rhythm ….. Excitement ….. Ever Lasting Memories !"
Probably not good enough to enter the competition [especially the photo with lack of poster !] > but, still worth a try !!
;-)
Roll-on Auckland > we can't wait !
Regards
Dean, Ali & Josh

its hot to see Johnny Clegg because I can have a 'groovy' night out and imagine I'm back in Africa for a little while ;-) I'd like to win tickets to the Melbourne concert I saw the poster at the Nando's store in Church Street, Brighton, Vic |
Being reminded of beautiful hot days in Africa having a good time with friends ... Saw the poster in the Nando's in Centre Road, Bentleigh Would like to win tickets to the Melbourne concert please |
Watching Johnny Clegg's performance and listening to his music is "hot" because it is so full of African energy.
Store where I saw the poster : Nando's Bondi
If I win, I'd like to watch the show in Sydney please.

Nathan King:Opening act (New Zealand) - Johnny Clegg Down Under Tour
Ever since picking up a guitar at the age of 15 in his home town of Christchurch, New Zealand, Nathan King has had a passion and a gift for writing great songs. We're not talking about just any "get-your-name-on-the-radio, one-hit-wonder" kind of songs, but crafted anthems, feel-good summer soundtracks, down-to-earth melodies that ooze a certain something that makes one want to fall in love – or maybe even break up.
Quite simply, King's compositions are tunes to make rock 'n roll memories to...
Only five years after strumming that first chord, King found his songs and his exceptional voice at the heart of multi-platinum, award-winning success as his pop-rock band Zed saw their debut album shoot to number one in New Zealand.
He honed his stagecraft in front of thousands of fans in Australasia, touring with Robbie Williams and Coldplay, and playing alongside the likes of The Calling, Ash and Seal in the USA and Europe – all thanks to those great songs and teenage years devoted to the remarkable music of bands such as U2, Simon & Garfunkel and The Beach Boys.
Drawing on his wide array of influences and experience, and having spent two years in London honing his skills, performing and travelling, in 2008 King released his debut solo album, The Crowd.
Produced by acclaimed maverick drummer Brady Blade (Dave Matthews, EmmyLou Harris, Beth Orton) and Greg Haver (Manic Street Preachers, Catatonia, Bullet for my Valentine), King's solo offering reflects a diverse edge to his writing.
Following the radio success of the first single from the album, Never Too Late, King recently released the second single, The Saddest Thing.

Kellerman: Opening act (Australia) - Johnny Clegg Down Under Tour
Musician Wouter Kellerman is widely considered to be South Africa's foremost flautist. His album Colour debuted to rave reviews at home and topped the classical music charts, and has been nominated for a 2009 South African Music Award for Best Instrumental Album.
Kellerman is taking his crossover world music to a global audience, having gained a solid following in South Africa. He has already released the album in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, with offers pending from the USA.
To coincide with his support slot on Johnny Clegg's Down Under tour, during which he will also perform solo shows, Kellerman is due to release this acclaimed album in Australia, where his music videos have already been playlisted. The album was mixed in Los Angeles by Grammy-winning Husky Hoskulds, who has worked with the likes of Norah Jones and Sheryl Crow.
Inspired by styles and cultures drawn from South Africa and around the world, Colour is a musical journey through African, Latin, jazz and Celtic sounds, with classical inflections. Australian audiences can prepare to experience an exciting fusion of musical elements and influences emanating from Kellerman's flute.
Kellerman started playing the flute at the age of 10, and in 1981 appeared as a soloist with the Johannesburg Symphony Orchestra. He went on to feature in several South African orchestras, scooping musical accolades along the way. Among these was winning the Perrenoud Foundation Prize during the 1997 Vienna International Music Competition.
Using his classical training as a foundation, Kellerman has recently focused his attention on world music, exploring the versatility of the instrument and fusing classical and contemporary sounds, resulting in a potent and thrilling musical encounter.
He has performed on four continents in the last two years and has worked with artists such as JB Arthur, Mauritz Lotz, Nianell, Chris Chameleon and David Matamela. His flute can be heard on the soundtrack of the Emmy Award-winning film Eye of the Leopard
