Just Jinjer to rock in the gardens
Just Jinjer will entertain at the next Music at the Lake concert.
ONE of South Africa’s proudest exports and widely celebrated groups, Just Jinjer headline the second Old Mutual Music at the Lake concert of 2014 at the Durban Botanic Gardens on Sunday, 16 March from 2.30pm.
Just Jinjer’s slick performance has garnered them fans locally and globally. They have shared the stage with big-ticket acts such as Corinne Bailey Rae, Ludacris and Angelique Kidjo, to name a few and Durban fans have a chance to once again experience their charm. Front-man, Ard Matthews, wowed the crowds when he performed at the scenic location in 2013 and this year, he’s back with the sought after band.
“I’m so excited about performing at the gardens again. We have some great new material and of course all the favourites,” said Matthews. “I’m from Durban, so I’m very excited to perform at one of my favourite venues.”
The band is currently recording its 9th studio album and is keen to perform live. A kaleidoscope of colour awaits visitors as the Durban Botanic Gardens puts on a show of another kind – all the plants showing off their summer best.
“We are happy that Just Jinjer could take time off of their hectic schedule to perform at the Old Mutual Music at the Lake,” said Bandile Mngoma, sponsorship manager at Old Mutual. “It is also a pleasure that while Durban’s sub-tropical climate means we will still enjoy much of the summer fauna in March, it is the last chance to enjoy the season’s highlights so we encourage music lovers not to miss this one,” said Mngoma.
Accompanying Just Jinjer is the Durban-born and acoustic duo, The Kickstands. The band’s achievements includes playing on large stages such as Splashy Fen, Durban Day and the FIFA World Cup. This dynamic, versatile and zealous duo has managed to merge impressive musicianship with accessible songwriting and melody that’s been met with mammoth popularity.
