Text Box: - Sue Northam, Musie Ed Text Box: 8 – turned on its side – is the sign of eternity. And in keeping with Eastern tradition, 08 – 08 – 2008 is the starting date for the Beijing Olympics, kicking off at 8am. !) Alongside these sporting greats, August in London is to witness some musical greats from down south – one Jimmy and one Johnny to be exact. First up is Jimmy Barnes who is considered to be one of Australia’s best selling and most popular Text Box: artists. He will be headlining the Aussie Toast Fest in Sept and playing Shepherds Bush in early Aug. As for Johnny – you may have to wait 4 yrs for the Olympics, but it’s 2 years since South African Johnny Clegg performed a full show in London, especially following the recent appetite whetter at 46664 in June! Clegg will be at The Forum for 2 consecutive shows starting on none other than 28 – 08 – 2008! Lucky 8 indeed! Text Box: Somewhat of a household name in SA and the soundtrack to an era, Johnny Clegg is a band unique for their synergy of the African beat and the dancing feet in traditional Zulu style! The JC band is the sum of its parts – Mandise with her hypnotic hip rotations, the energy of the world music beats and the larger than life lyrics echoing through your soul! It’s been decades of music and dance since Clegg released his first CD all those years ago in prime apartheid era. A man of the struggle, Johnny has had a rather prominent position to share social commentary through song. From a track calling for the release of Mandela (‘Asimbonanga’) to one off his recent album about the leadership in Zimbabwe entitled ‘The revolution will eat its children'. Clegg and co to search for the spirit of the Great Heart and find out why the dog howls at the moon! The shows on 28 & 29 August at The Forum.
