Mama Africa

Today we lost an icon, someone who fought so hard for freedom for all in South Africa. Someone whose voice touched not only local audiences, but people from far and wide. Today we lost Miriam "Mama Africa" Makeba. I'd like to call on all of you who loved and adored her to remember the wonderful woman that is Miriam Makeba, celebrate her life, her music and may she rest in peace!

V Fest postponed


So for all you South African music festival fans, some news on the first Virgin Festival. The first South African Festival has been postponed. I repeat postponed!

Virgin Festival has become somewhat of a phenomenon globally, having had huge success in the US, UK, Canada and Australia to name a few countries. So it was time to bring it to our shores. Unfortunately while many of us are winding down the year, international artists are busy with touring, promoting new albums, wanting to spend the festive season with their families or they're just physically tired. So in short the organisers weren't able to get the headlining acts they wanted. I was at a lunch with them earlier and they said they'd approached some 70 acts including the Foo Fighters, The Killers, Kanye, Coldplay, Linkin Park, AC/DC and so on and all of them said it just wasn't convenient for now. So the fest has been delayed until early next year.

Not all is lost though. Maroon 5 and One Republic will still be coming to SA in December. The venues will be different, but they'll be here and it'll still be awesome. Local stars Goldfish and The Parlotones will be the support acts. If you've booked your tickets there are three options:

1. Get fully refunded
2. Watch Maroon 5 and One Republic and get the difference of your V Fest tickets back in cash
3. Wait for VFest 2009.

It's disappointing but like the CEO of Virgin Mobile South Africa, Peter Boyd said they could've either given audiences "half a product and reduce the price of the tickets, or hang back and wait". I agree with him. The artists on the line-up so far are cool and awesome, but in my opinion there needs to be that OMG so and so are coming to SA, wow... so yeah, there you have it!

Condolences


It's amazing how you can be on top of the world, in the best space and place ever and one incident can ruin that all. Jennifer Hudson, who has just released her debut album, my heart, prayers and thoughts go out to you and your family. Her mother and brother were gunned down in their home on Friday, allegedly by Hudson's brother-in-law. Her nephew Julian King is now missing, and Hudson has pleaded with fans, friends and anyone to come forward with information if they know anything. In fact she's offered $100 000 to anyone who knows of his where abouts. Lets hope he comes back safe and sound.

My deepest condolences go out to the Hudson family.
