Last night Dubai's Nad al Sheba race course hosted the SA Weekender Festival featuring Blinga, Watershed, Just Jinger and Johnny Clegg. More importantly thought was the supply of biltong, boerewors and castle lager!!
Watershed was great (although to be honest I only recognised like 2 songs of theirs)
The star of the show though was of course Johnny Clegg. He and his group performed all the usually songs like Impi, Scatterlings, Spirit of the Great Heart and Cruel Crazy Beautiful World. I can't even begin to describe the cheers from the (by then rather drunken) crowd when he launched into Spirit of the Great Heart. Being able to stand that close and listen to his music under the stars was a truly amazing experience.
I'm afraid by the end of Johnny Clegg it was past 10pm and I was heartily sick of being bumped and jostled by inebriated revellers that we decided to skip Just Jinger and head home for an early night.

Amazing phenomenon isn't it. Never really a Castle fan back home, but stick me 10000 miles from SA and I can't WAIT to crack one open. Weird.
