Peacemaker hits Jozi
FOURWAYS – The chart-topping, Grammy award-winning singer and songwriter Albert Hammond OBE will feature in two fantastic performances at the Teatro at Montecasino on 16 to 17 April next year.
The legendary artist who created the hits such as It Never Rains in Southern California, Free Electric Band, I’m a Train and Peacemaker will return to South African for two concerts only for his Songbook Tour.
Hammond wowed his fans and gained many more with his three highly successful concerts staged in Potchefstroom at the Aardklop National Arts Festival in Johannesburg and Cape Town last year. This success made it only too easy for local promoter, Charl van Heyningen, to bring the ‘Peacemaker’ back to this country.
“The previous Albert Hammond concerts had audiences dancing from the moment the curtain went up. Such was the popularity of this artist and his concerts. We had many requests for additional concert dates which we, unfortunately, couldn’t accommodate at the time,” stated Van Heyningen.
The worldwide Songbook Tour will consist of incredible live performances to showcase this musician’s tremendous abilities. He will be joined onstage by his four-piece band to present a stunning two-hour journey through five decades of our lives.
Even if you haven’t heard his name, you’ve heard his work as he has written some of the best-selling songs in history, such as The Air That I Breathe by The Hollies.
Hammond also co-wrote many famous numbers such as To All The Girls I’ve Loved Before, a major 80s hit for Julio Iglesias and Willie Nelson; One Moment in Time performed by Whitney Houston and When You Tell Me That You Love Me by Diana Ross.
Hammond will be performing at the Teatro at Montecasino on 16 April at 8pm and again on 17 April at 3pm.
Ticket prices range from R400 to R700.
