The spotlight will again shine on SA singing icon PJ Powers when she hosts her show Firefly at the GrandWest Roxy Revue Bar between 7 February and 29 March 2014.

With a singing career that began in the late 1970s, PJ Powers’ career has many highlights. She has recorded 16 albums, was banned from radio and TV for a year by the Apartheid government, and was encouraged by Nelson Mandela to continue her singing.

In 1995 she performed the song World In Union at the opening of the 1995 Rugby World Cup in Cape Town for a worldwide television audience. She has shared the stage with Eric Clapton, Joan Armatrading, Hugh Masekela, Lord Richard Attenborough and many other big names. She has sung for Queen Elizabeth, King Juan Carlos of Spain, Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands and sang at the inauguration of President Nelson Mandela.

Many of her songs have become well-loved perennial hits, including Feel So Strong, You’re So Good To Me, There Is An Answer, Home To Africa, and Jabulani.

But it hasn’t all been plain sailing for PJ Powers and in Firefly, she takes you through her intimate, personal journey, through the high and lows, rises and falls that have peppered her spectacular career.

In true PJ Powers style she does it by performing some of the greatest hits in South African music with her trademark sense of humour. The show includes a mix of her well-loved hits as well as brand new songs from her new album Destiny. But new or old, she’ll rock your socks off and give you a great night out.

Doors open at 8pm and the curtain rises at 8.30pm. Tickets are available from Computicket at R90 each.
