THE SIDE SHOWS AT BLANKETS AND WINE

So we all kow that Blankets and Wine went down over the weekend aye?

Well, there were a gang load of awesome performances o stage such as Queen Mashie, Monique and the main attraction was South Africa’s TKZEE. I’m sure there have been alot of stories about the onstage performances but do you know what happened off-stage?
Well, to start off, the organization that went into the whole event was top notch! Everything ran like clockwork. Muthoni Ndong’a (the successful business woman) was seen running up and down ensuring that her brainchild ran like a well oiled machine. What impressed me most was the passion and dedication with which her auxilliary staff went about their work.
Then there was the fact that a gang’a celebrities came out to show love and support for the event. Octopizzo who recently featured in a video with Muthoni The Drummer Queen (the musical alter ego) was preset with his daughter. DNG the number one hypeman was also present. Ant Neosoul was also in the “house” with his abundant energy (i actually think he could be a source of alternative and green energy). And Chimano from the super group Sauti Sol was also in attendance and so were Shappaman and Taio Tripper who were surrounded by a bevy of beauties swarming round them for a chance to have their photos taken with the mega stars.
When TKZEE did their set, the response was massive. Clearly Kenyans still have love for the South Africa group. But what astounded me was the fact that when they’d completed their set, the DJ took over and when he played “Party Don’t Stop” by Camp Mulla the reception was wild! All the lasses in attendance screamed and the lads begun rapping along. What does that say about how well their songs and talent has been recieved?
There was food and drink available at the venue for those who had run out of either the frothy elixir or food. Osperian provided some of the best pizza i have ever had in all of my 23yrs on God’s green Earth. It was mid blowing to say the least. I was later informed that they were Italian pizzas. I don’t know what that was meant to imply, i simply know that the pizzas were orgasmic for my taste-buds.
Catch afew of the sights you missed out on here and next time make plans to join the rest of Nairobi’s live music lovers.
