I caught up with Aston, the brains behind the event, to ask him more.
Change, understanding, growth, love and positive mindsets.
The fans.
I’m happy.
Alcohol and cigarettes.
It’s given me the greatest career I ever wanted. Music notes have the ability to teach many lessons.
Completing something that felt impossible to start with.
Many. I once jumped into the audience and mingled and then jumped back onto the stage, which then partially collapsed. On another occasion, a wooden stage board gave way making Mike, our guitarist, fall through whilst playing a guitar solo. A young fans hand got caught in a most embarrassing place.
Water.
Integrity, honesty.
Jazzman, Jazz.
What I’m doing now - behind the scenes work.
Authentic, honest, professional, driven, fit.
I love casual, jeans and a t-shirt.
I don’t use any slang words and don’t remember the ones from school. I use swear words... Can I mention some of those?
Run in as many countries as I am able. Travel the world.
My boys, my marriage and running 58km on my balcony to raise funds for the music industry.
People who are ungrateful for what they have.
I used to say “Say yeah” quite a lot.
Exactly where I am with the sun on my back.
I do various charitable and community work. I am co-event director for Green Point Parkrun, I have raised money for musicians and am busy with another legacy project to raise more funds for music industry professionals. My wife and I also assist with a small feeding scheme in Sea Point.
To continue to be happy. Happiness can change the world.
