JESSE CLEGG ALBUM LAUNCH (Life on Mars)
Wednesday 11 May 2011
A wintery Wednesday night could not have been a more perfect time for the Jesse Clegg album launch.
The Venue at Melrose Arch was the perfect intimate location for an event like this.
The evening started with walking down the red-carpet (no flashing cameras) with press checking in with the fans.
This was unusual for an event like this to have fans (winners of tickets) to the event present - These type of events are generally for “PRESS ONLY”.
The evening officially started with the MC and Producer announcing that the evening was the launch of the 2nd Album Life on Mars and the music video for Clarity. The music video played and wow it was the perfect teaser to the show, I was hoping that the band would interrupt the music video and play while it was projected on the wall, but alas that never happened.
The band came on stage after the music video and started with the song END OF THE RAINBOW – Real rock concert with lights smoke machines and all!
The evening progressed with fans singing along, press with cameras getting there shots and the band totally rocking out!
It seemed the whole evening that the band members where having so much fun (comments on twitter confirmed what I was seeing).
Jesse Clegg did an acoustic version of Black and White – This song for me stole the show. This was a song that showed what he is made of, deep lyrics and a talent that is on a international standard.
Jesse Clegg also seems to be very humble on stage (a quality lacking in many artists). He introduced the band members with allot of pride and hardly mentioned himself he just said “Oh yeah and I’m Jesse”.
Jesse Clegg and the band played a few songs from his previous album and new one (Life on Mars).
The evening ended and felt like it was just enough to keep us all happy and enticed to go and get LIFE ON MARS!
Needless to say I was first in line on Thursday (12/05/2011) to pick up his new album LIFE ON MARS.
Jesse Clegg keep up the good work – You make us PROUDLY SOUTH AFRICAN – Let your music ROCK the industries boots off of them!
