Just Jinjer band leader makes a difference

Just Jinjer band leader, Ard Matthews is set to host his 4th year Ard Matthews & Friends Charity Concert next week. We had a quick chat with the musician to find out what he hopes to achieve with this year’s concert.

This is the 4th year the concert is running did you think it would receive so much positive response when you first thought of it?

I had no idea, I just knew it was something I wanted to do. The fact that people have taken it upon themselves to join me in giving back a little is just a testament to the kind of good natured people we have out there in general.

Does the organization plan on expanding the concert to other cities besides cape town, Johannesburg and Durban, areas like Bloemfontein and P.E?

Most certainly. We were in talks this year already but it is a bit too late now, so we're hoping for more events in more cities next year.

Those who are attending the event, what can they expect differently from the other past 3 shows?

I say if it aint broke don't fix it, so the formula will remain the same. 2-3 songs from each artist, short auction, and mainly..party! it really is a great feel good event and we encourage people to let loose because they have already done their good deed, just by being there and perhaps participating in the auction.

Can we also expect a surprize performance from anyone else?

Yes, there will be an up and coming artist that I'm currently working with and also a very left of centre rap artist too. The main event for me will be the two appearances from Groot Schalk who will be playing a few songs. It's uncanny how daintily he plays with those bug hands and his voice will definitely transport you to a happier time in your life.

How can the public contribute more to the cause of this charity event besides only going to the event?

We accept donations on the site. It's also more just about the public taking ownership of the fact that we all need to give back at least a little something and to also spread the word.
