locally in South Africa (Durban, Cape Town and Johannesburg) around his Royal
Albert Hall London concert.
Clegg, who will be honoured by the
University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN) with an Honorary Doctor of Music degree on
April 16, is taking his highly acclaimed A
South African Story to the Royal Albert Hall on March 27. This story covers
Johnny’s life through his music, and is an inspiring and uplifting voyage.
Experience the thrill of music and dance with Johnny Clegg that links his music
to the journey South Africa has taken over the past 30 years. Johnny will be
the first Solo South African act to ever perform at The Royal Albert Hall. For

Following his concert at the Durban
Botanical Gardens last year, where he broke all The Gardens’ attendance
records, Johnny Clegg will perform with his band in The Playhouse Opera from
March 13 to 16.
Says Johnny "It’s been ages since I
gave a theatrical style performance in Durban and I am looking forward to
bringing my theatre show to audiences in eThekwini. The show traces the
personal history of my involvement with the Zulu migrant labour community over
the past 40 years. All of the cultural and musical influences in my music are
revealed as well playing all the favourite hit songs that consolidated my
career as a singer/songwriter. The show is also peppered with stories and
anecdotes describing events and incidents which shaped the content and
direction of the music."
Clegg will perform with his band in The
Playhouse Opera from March 13 to 16. Tickets from R171 to R315 from Computicket
