Friday Night Extra – 28 June 2013 featuring Rene Horner by Phoenix Fm on Mixcloud

With the world news focussing on Nelson Mandella we had a special on the music of South Africa tonight. We had tracks from African artists Johnny Clegg, Hugh Masekala and The Soweto String Quartet. We also had African influenced music from Paul Simon, Toto and Elton John. Rene joined us on the phone to talk about growing up in South Africa and living through the change in the system. It was fascinating. She loved the music and suggested that we close our eyes and imagine we were listening to South African radio, sitting on the beach. On a damp June night in Brentwood that sounded like a good idea! Michael requested a track by Madonna and Phyl by Johnny Cash. We also heard tracks by Eagles, Jamie Cullum, Lady Antabellum, Marvin Gaye, Fleetwood Mac and others.

Join me next week when my guest is Gary Seithel who will be telling us about On the Move Brentwood and how to get a free beef burger at the three day event.
