Pastor Shirley Caesar spreads the blessings at The Dome!
Sometimes you go to a show harbouring expectations of a great show but restraining yourself because your experience tell you it’s never as good as the show that’s going on in your mind.

The night of half-songs, hurting ankles and forgotten lyrics- Patti LaBelle @ Sun City, South Africa
I was very excited to see that Patti la belle was coming to perform live in South Africa. She had been announced a few times in the past and at the last minute the show would be cancelled. So I was already used to the disappointment as far as Miss Patti is concerned. When the…

Anthony Hamilton almost gets it at the woman’s day show at the Dome
I attended the Anthony Hamilton show and again the organizers just spoiled the show with their inept organisation. The man certainly has a voice to fill a church and the crowd (me included) loved the ballads, which he delivered with such emotion, it prolly made some grown men in the audience cry- the lady next…
