TAURANGA'S [NZ] NANDO'S "CLOSED FOR BUSINESS" !!

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 !

The 'Hottest' thing about Johnny Clegg is that he is bringing the "Soul of Africa" down under.

I saw the poster in the Nando's at Hillarys in Westfield Whitford City, cnr of Marmion and Whitford Ave, Perth

Kellerman: Opening act (Australia) - Johnny Clegg Down Under Tour

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
