Celebrate Summer at The Carousel with Nedine Blom & Andries Botha
3 & 4 September 2010
The Carousel Casino & Entertainment World is dishing up a super summer concert on 3 & 4 September to welcome back sunshine and fun with exciting soprano star Nedine Blom and rocker Andries Botha!
Nedine Blom’s show, With All My Heart, will light up the Cheyenne Saloon on 3 September. Blom has developed a massive national following for her sublime musical talents, but few people know she is also a motivational speaker and a qualified lawyer. Her talent for songwriting became apparent at an early age, when a song she wrote was chosen as the winner in RSG’s “Sterre 2000” competition in 1999. She was recently awarded with two SAMA Awards for her two kids pop releases "Supercool" and "Supercool 2" and is immensely popular with audiences of all age groups.
With All My Heart also features Adri Naude on violin and electric guitar virtuoso Stephan Botha. Naude needs no introduction and has shared the stage with big names such as Steve Hofmeyr, Kelly Clarkson, Jannie Moolman and Nianell. She adds a totally unexpected element to this show with her amazing violin work, including a rock violin version of Nicholis Louw’s “Rock daai lyfie”. The show takes audiences on a musical journey from ABBA, right through classical evergreens such as "Don't cry for me Argentina", Puccini's popular composition from Madame butterfly "O mio babino caro" and the showstopper of this spectacular show, a pop version of “Phantom of the Opera”. Blom also incorporates Afrikaans hits into her show as well as a few of her own compositions, currently playlisted on RSG and other regional radio stations. With All My Heart is an unmissable musical fusion spectacular with a unique pop twist!
Singer-songwriter Andre Botha brings his unique brand of rock to the Cheyenne Saloon on 4 September as part of his Welkom in my Wêreld tour.
Andries is no stranger to the music industry, as a former member of the band Georgia with his brother Ghapi and is often recognised as the lead guitarist on Steve Hofmeyr’s kykNET show “Dis Hoe Dit Is”.
His solo carreer started in 2005 when he started recording his own songs. Andre has written many songs for other musicians and co-wrote Afrikaans Idols winner Willem Botha’s first single.
The Welkom in my Wêreld show consists of songs from his latest album of the same name, as well as a medley of songs by Queen and Credence Clearwater Revival. He is supported by a three-piece band, featuring some of the finest musicians in the country. Welkom in my Wêreld is a showcase of Andries’ talents as a singer, guitarist, songwriter and all-round entertainer. The show is a musical journey consisting of visuals, as well as great musicianship, sharing one of the country’s finest musicians’ perspectives on life. Welkom in my Wêreld is bound to capture the hearts and imagination of audiences around the country.
Tickets for The Carousel’s Summer Concert – With All My Heart featuring Nedine Blom, Adri Naude and Stephan Botha (3 September) and Andries Botha’s Welkom in my Wêreld (4 September) are priced at R50 and are available from Computicket and at the venue.
