Flyover Show 2011 - the Soweto is over...


Okay, you can ignore the useless pun but please don't ignore the Flyover Show itself...especially this year. Having moved from its regular May slot to August this FREE one day festival (held under Hockley flyover) comes just a couple of weeks after the riots that, for several days, threatened to tear the entire City apart. I've not written much about the riots...it's all just too depressing. Protesting over social injustice is one thing, trashing businesses, burning down homes and running people over is something altogether different and, quite frankly, UNFORGIVABLE. Hopefully, as in other years, this year's Flyover Show though will be a celebration of the good side of our City, a time when everyone, irrespective of their background, age, colour blah blah blah, can just get together and listen to some great music. Please...
