An exciting line-up of local and national artists are set to entertain participants in the first-ever Virtual Algoa FM Big Walk for Cancer online concert – a concert that promises to get you back on your feet after you’ve done your 5 km trot!
Artists on our virtual stage include Gino Lee, Stuart Reece and SA’s favourite party band Dr Victor & the Rasta Rebels. The 'Rasta Rebels', headed up by Dr Victor, will be streaming live from his home on the 31st October with songs we have come to know and love on the Algoa FM charts.
Dr Victor says of his long-standing relationship with Algoa FM, “over the years, for a lot of their party functions, we were their go-to band. They’ve played my music since way back in the early ’90s when we just formed Dr Victor & The Rasta Rebels. I remember years back we were the opening act for Paul Simon at St. Georges Park and Algoa FM was already punting our music back then. It’s been more than 20 years since the early days and they’ve continued to support my music career to this day.”
Excited Stuart Reece says, “I am grateful to be a part of the event this year and I’m proud to be able to say that of the songs I will be streaming from my home studio on 31 October, two climbed to the Number One Spot on The Algoa FM top 30 over the years”.
“Algoa FM has supported my music career since day one when I knocked on their door with my first CD in my hands asking if they’d consider playing just one of my songs. This literally happened. I didn’t know about protocol and procedure for radio submissions back then but they gave me a chance anyway. It’s been 10 years since then and they have continued to support my music career to this day.”
The multi-talented Gino Lee told Algoa FM, “I’m so grateful and honoured to be performing live at this year’s amazing and inspiring Virtual Algoa FM Big Walk for Cancer. I will be doing an exclusive performance of my songs ‘Only Get Better’ and ‘Days Like This’, which speak to what a tough and eventful year 2020 has been.”
“Thank you Algoa FM for bringing awareness to this disease which affects so many of us, and for inspiring us to live healthier and stronger … and for giving back to a cause that will help and heal so many.”
In closing a word from Algoa FM’s Marketing Manager Lesley Geyer: “Our exciting line up of performers is set and we are ready to entertain our participants at this year’s Virtual Algoa FM Big Walk for Cancer. Things will be a bit different, but all participants in the Big Walk will be able to enjoy a great show wherever they are in the world.”
