Celebrate Youth Day with Gino Lee

- Staff Reporter

GINO LEE, Cape Town-based musician and mastermind behind the hit single Back To Me, will host a special youth day edition of his weekly Woodstock Open Mic at Three Feathers Diner (opposite the Biscuit Mill) tomorrow between noon and 3pm.

With more than 15 artists already confirmed for the event, including Sama award-winning songstress Can Skylark, the jampacked day promises nothing but the best.

Most important however, is spreading a message of hope and upliftment among South African youth. Gino says: “The theme of the event is youth developmen­t within the entertainm­ent community. I want to show kids they can productive­ly and creatively keep themselves busy instead of resorting to gangsteris­m and drug abuse.”

One of the purposes is to help create awareness around Woodstock Open Mic – a place where people can come to showcase their talents in a safe space, express themselves and network with like-minded individual­s.

Even more exciting is that Cape Town TV will be in the house, interviewi­ng artists and capturing their performanc­es. And if that isn’t enough to convince you, there will also be awesome prizes and give-aways, including Trendy Jackets and T-shirts from ERKE. A representa­tive from ERKE will be speaking about youth empowermen­t.

Be there early to secure your seat in the crowd and enjoy an afternoon of music and empowermen­t with the local community.

The Woodstock Open Mic Youth Day Edition takes place on Saturday at Three Feathers Diner at 12.3pm. There is no charge.
