Joburg Day 2009
I have been trying today to calculate how many Joburg Day’s I have been involved with. I think this one was my seventh. They all tend to blend into one to tell you the truth. Although, in saying that I think Joburg Day 2009 will always stand out for a few reasons. The first reason would have to be the weather. I’m not sure if it is selective memory on my part but I can’t recall another one where it rained. Everyone I have spoken to have said that the rain just added to the ambience and vibe of the day. The second reason it will stand out in my mind is because of the new venue. Riversands Farm in Fourways leant itself to creating a successful event. It was spacious and picturesque but most of all it was a nice change.
The line up was also great this year. New comers to 94.7 Highveld Stereo’s Joburg Day with Santam were idols Jason and Sasha Lee, Jesse Clegg as well as Cape Town based A-King who were definitely a crowd favourite. They performed alongside veterans of 94.7′s Joburg Day Prime Circle, Just Jinger and South African music legend Johnny Clegg. All in all I think a great day was had by everyone and I look forward to Joburg Day 2010.
