It was one hell of an affair; let me start by saying that. People came out last night to party the night away. It was awesome to see so many people having a good time. It was always going to turn out to be a party.
As usual, the faults of the night presented themselves when 617 Squadron had to take the stage. Everyone was excited to see them perform and get their money’s worth. I felt that the event wasn’t really planned to cater for live performances because the mics were fuckin up, the sound barely penetrated the 1st row of the audience.
As a hip hop lover I was let down by the equipment used to perform, Squadron was on point, the deejays killed and some of the people there expected the ‘usual SWAPMEETS’ showcase but it was not to be. It was just a matter of paying at the gate to listen to music and wspend what was left of our money on booze. I think they should have not deviated so much from their previous events, people stuck to the theme and most of the people I spoke with were in a spending mood.
The marketing of this event clearly worked and people got most of what they paid for.
At the end of the night we all enjoyed the gig, the rain tried to stop us but no one really gave a shit if it was raining cats and dogs. When I left the scene, I was impressed by the pull SWAPMEETS has, I was pleasantly surprised when at around 23:00 the place was filled up. Ga- Rankuwa people are suckers for a course organized and planned right at home. If you didn't know better you would have thought that there was ‘celebrities’ at the gig. The deejays killed, Squadron killed and it was an all out G- Town party. I look forward to the next one, I forsee that it will be even bigger and better than the previous ones. Props to the organizers and everyone who came out to support.
All in all it was a great night, it was another win for Ga- Rankuwa. Looking forward to the next one.
