VENUE
========
The Coronet Theatre opened its doors over 100 years ago and to this day has managed to retain all of it’s art deco features. Originally conceived as a public hall, it appeared as Theatre Royal in 1872 but a fire in 1878 lead to renovations. One year later The Elephant and Castle Theatre opened it’s doors to the public and a very young Charlie Chaplin soon graced the stage. Nowadays the Coronet Theatre plays host to some of London’s most iconic concerts and is the perfect setting for the Sounds Of Africa concert holding a capacity of over 3000 people.

Jesse Clegg is the son of one of South Africa’s most prolific and highly regarded musicians, Johnny Clegg. In the space of two short years, he has streaked into the top of the radio charts and into the hearts of all South African music fans. The vehicle for this has been the 22-year-old’s debut album, ‘When I Wake Up’ which was released in 2008 and has, so far, produced an enviable five radio singles and is heading for platinum status. Witness the whole Jesse Clegg experience with his 4 piece band LIVE at the Sounds Of Africa.

DJ Kent is the epitome of cool, calm and collected – that is, until he hits the decks and works club crowds around the world into a frenzy. Kent has established himself as one of the top producers in South Africa after his productions and expertise has been featured in over 50% of South Africa’s biggest compilations since 2005 & with the release of his solo debut in 2008, gained him the 2008/2009 SAMA award for “best urban dance album”. Kent is destined to storm the charts, destroy dance floors and calm hoards of hungry fans and it is for this reason that he is one of the main headliners for the Sounds of Africa concert in London.
Derek “TheBandit”

He has compiled, mixed and released 23 chart-topping dance compilations and played alongside the very biggest names in the world of dance music including Paul van Dyk, Sister Bliss and Judge Jules.

With a library hosted at his music website, www.soundrepublic.co.za, extending beyond 100 editions which continues to attract 10 000 new listeners each month it is no surprise that he is rated as one of South Africas most well know Trance Djs to date.
