WATERSHED opening for DAVID GRAY
Oh yes it’s all happening yet again… do you think this concert fever is just going to continue? We have David Grey, Seal, Shaggy, Black Eyed Peas, Kanye West, Johnny Gill and David Grey in the next few weeks… Imagine that, South African’s being nonchalant about international artists coming over! For all the Watershed fans you will be delighted to hear that they will be opening up for …David Grey next month: Premier pop/rock act, Watershed, has been invited to support David Gray on the South African leg of his “Life in Slow Motion” tour next month. The highly anticipated shows, presented by Kfm 94.5, 94.7 Highveld Stereo and BIG Concerts, are scheduled for Cape Town’s Bellville Velodrome on the 9th and Johannesburg’s Coca-Cola Dome, on the 11th of June. Watershed were awarded “Best Pop Album”, and nominated for “Best Adult Contemporary Album” at this year’s SAMA Awards, following the success of their third album, ‘Mosaic’. The group has become South Africa’s most successful pop/rock music export in recent years, touring SA and Europe extensively on the back of their previous two platinum selling albums, “In The Meantime” and “Wrapped in Stone”. The hit “Indigo Girl” off their debut album, has become the band’s signature tune reaching #2 in Germany, the Top 10 in 5 European countries, and it has also been translated into Chinese, making it a hit in South East Asia! With scores of fans worldwide, high-energy live performances and songs being staples of greatness, Watershed were the obvious choice to support the UK singer/songwriter. David Gray has established himself as one of UK’s leading artists, following the astounding success of his debut album “White Ladder”, which sold over 6 million copies word-wide. His critically acclaimed second album, “A New Day at Midnight” received four times platinum status in the UK. His latest album, “Life in Slow Motion” is counted as David’s best work, both musically and lyrically, and is almost classified Gold in South Africa. Combining the awesome sounds of South Africa’s premier band with the beautiful ballads, heartfelt lyrics and sweeping choruses of one of the UK’s leading artists, the intimate shows promise to be an awesome aural experience, showcasing the hits that made them household favourites. WOW – another world class musician adding us to their tour… This time it’s UK singer DAVID GRAY – the man whose melancholy voice has filled many an emotional moment… He’s coming out in June for two concerts – get your tissues out and go and catch him : Friday 9 June 2006 – The Bellville Velodrome, Cape Town Sunday 11 June 2006 – The Coca Cola Dome,...

Charity does not start at home…
“SHARE LIBATIONS” ….Sounds like a workable initiative – get together with good music, wine and good people at a good venue and donate winter clothes and food to charity. There are a lot of people with a lot to give but sadly they need it to fit into their ‘schedule’ and lifestyle, that’s why we guess that this will be a popular way of giving. A It’s an evening charity event happening at Devine Lounge on the 25th May… So if you have clothes to spare or perishable foods to donate to the less fortunate, go along and help them reach their goal of R10 000. Good ones guys! We think you can double that.
