The weekend before Christmas, House on Fire hosted the
infamous “Soweto String Quartet”. The
concert held a spectacular Christmas theme with the Quartet doing a set of well
known Christmas Carol melodies, alongside them Swazi Choral groups sang to
their hearts delight. A Christmas
market place ran in conjunction with the event, where Gone Rural showcased our
gorgeous, innovative Christmas decorations.
The real star of the show in our opinion was our very own
Philippa Thorne who blew us away with her flute ensemble with local award
winning Swazi soul artist ‘Bholoja”, after the Soweto String Quartet’s
performance. They were electrifying on
stage, their explosive energy even managed to cause an electrical power cut!!
It took awhile for the electricity to comeback on but that didn’t stop the
crowd still jamming by candlelight!
Congratulations to Phil!
