FreshlyGround, one of Mzansi’s best bands, made their presence felt in front of hundreds of fans in Botswana last weekend! The popular folk/rock band gave their usual all with energetic moves and quirky punchlines.
What a great show it was, bar the poor sound quality. True, the show took place at a venue not properly suitable for music (kinda reminded me of the old school halls we used to pack when watching kung-fu movies back in the 1980s! Y’all know what I’m talking about!) The promoters should really have been more discerning when choosing a venue for an MTV-award winning band of FG’s caliber. But then again, horror stories about bad promoters are bound all over the place. I’m going off on a tangent here but the worst I’ve heard of so far was the Musiq band manager who couldn’t get his own Visa on time and thus forbade the entire tour from happening last year. What a disgrace!
Hopefully a new generation of music promoter emerges, that will take our artists a bit more seriously and professionally. Yes, sometimes it is the artist’s fault, but as a promoter you cannot be faulted at all; you must be at your best always.
