Last Saturday I headed to the Cape Town stop of the Lionel Richie - Coming Home tour, which was absolutely fantastic. He is an amazing performer, and has written some of the most classic songs over the last few decades. I only discovered Lionel recently, with his Just For You/ Coming Home phase, and then went and investigated his enormous back catalogue and there are so many songs that are just classic. He didn't play much of his new stuff, so that disappointed me a little, but he was great with the crowd. If I live to be that 'old' let's hope I have that much energy. They are playing in Joburg tomorrow night, so if you live there get yourself a ticket now.
On Sunday, I headed to the first Kirstenbosch Summer Concert of the season. It was a beautiful day. I took a risk and went to see a new band called Zebra and Giraffe. Admittedly, they don't play my kind of music, but they were actually quite cool. They have only been together for three months and have already proven so successful - with an album out and playing in front of thousands. Check them out at www.zebraandgiraffe.co.za.
In other great news, I found out that my long and painful struggle with academics is over! I got my results back and I was very pleased with them. I will be graduating with a BA Honours degree in Media Theory and Practice. This means that I will be focusing 100% on my media work in the new year. I have no plans to study any further at this point. It has been a long road, and I am glad it is over.
I am working hard, but will update soon - so keep checking!
