AKWASI KYEREME & OGHENE KOLOGBO
Afrobeat meets Reggae, Funk & Soul
(Ghana, South Africa, Togo, Benin, Cameroun, Congo, Sierra Leone, Nigeria, Germany)
Akwasi Kyereme’s music career began in 1973 in Nigeria. There he was singing in bands, playing Afro beat in the style of Alpha Blondy or Fela Kuti.
Born in Kumasi, Ashanti – Ghana, son of a chief and a Ghanaian singer, Akwasi worked as a jockey, tailor and hairdresser before he finally sacrificed in music.
With Fela Kuti Akwasi worked together for many years sewing many stage outfits for Fela Kuti’s legendary live shows. Soon, he joined Reggae, which he combined with his African roots. In Yaam, Berlin’s hottest reggae location, Akwasi and his Band ‘Root B Tama’ were playing and the club was sold out.
They performed in the famous clubs of the city: Haus der Kulturen der Welt, TU-Mensa, ICC, Böcklerpark, Huxley’s, and others. In Germany he perforned in Hamburg (Markthalle), Köln, Düsseldorf (LaSalsa), Potsdam, Cottbus, and not to forget is the annual Chiemsee Reggae Festival.
Foreign gigs in Amsterdam, Tilborg, Antwerp, and of course his native Ghana complete his career.

YAAM is not only one of the most popular clubs in Berlin, but is also associated with numerous social projects (eg street children in Sao Paulo or construction of schools in Burkina Faso). The Brazilian DJ Garrincha comments soccer games and animates any party regardless of the outcome. On the river Spree, with chill atmosphere, with a youthful and alternative audience. Ideal to hang out with a cold beer with friends. “- Berlinda

In 1956 there was an oil crisis as French and British troops tried to take possessions of the Suez Canal to stop Egyptian nationalisation. The vulnerability of Europe’s oil supplies became apparent as petrol prices soared. Car manufacturers rushed to produce cheap small cars.
Rootes planned such a model – originally called the Slug. The design evolved with a rear wheel drive from an engine in the boot. For the car to handle properly, a light-weight engine was developed.
In 1959, as BMC announced the Mini, Rootes decided to go into production with the Imp at their new Linwood plant, served by the body making plant at Pressed Steel who were already in the area making bodies for Rover and Volvo.
It had taken little more than two years to build the factory and manufacture the first car. But this rush to put the car on the road had left insufficient time for testing and, although the press reports at the launch were very complimentary, these early cars soon gained a reputation for unreliability.
Singer and Sunbeam versions of the Imp were made together with a Commer van.

For my videos:
US teen singer Miley Cyrus, performing live at London's legendary G-A-Y. Miley controversially kissed another female dancer, by bending her over backwards, and pressing her face upon hers, certainly looking like a genuine kiss, much to the joy of the largely homosexual crowd. Miley also wore a Union Jack flag over dress, before tearing it off, to reveal a skimpy black dress, which was so short she flashed her black underwear on several occasions.

It was not a night for a concert. After days of rain there were heavy grey skies and drizzles. People seemed to be in a post-Labor Day "summer's over" funk. Obama was speaking to Congress about our lack of jobs while the lights from Ground Zero were a visible reminder in the background that the dreaded 9/11 10th Anniversary was about to happen in New York.
Broken Social Scene didn't seem to be able to transcend it. The aging band - known to be a loose collection of musicians who have tons of side projects - weren't touring for a new record. It actually felt like this could be their last show in a long time - or ever. And lead singer Kevin Drew seemed to know it.
"Thank you for all the years, New York. Don't know when we'll see ya, but we'll see ya when we see ya. We're Broken Social Scene. Don't forget us."
Singer Nine Team Car (1935) Engine 972cc S4 OC

For 1935 Singer decided to focus on creating a radical 9hp design with which to contest the Ards Tourist Trophy race. The events ban on supercharged entries and the handicap system made it attractive to competitions manager Stanley Barnes, but he also remained comitted to the Le Mans 24 hour race.
Road registered as AVC 481, 482, 483, and 484 the new Singer Nine TT team cars utilised bespoke chassis frame equipped with all round semi-elliptic leaf sprung suspension, heavy duty Andre Harford friction shocks, four wheel hydraulic drum brakes and underslung semi floating rear axle. Powered by the Singer Nine 972cc engine allied with a four speed close ratio gearbox. And reputed to be capable of 100mph.
All four cars were taken to France for the 1935 Le Mans 24 hour race AVC 481 and 482 both set impressive practice times but succumbed to starter motor problems during the race. A month later three of the cars sucessfully competed in the LCC relay race at Brooklands. Before travelling to Ireland for the TT race were the steering failed scrutineering and a hurried modification was carried out by Singers belfast agent.
For the race AVC 482 was entered as No38 driven by Norman Black and AVC 484 driven by team leader Sammy Davis, with Donald Barnes in AVC 481 and Alf Langley in AVC 483
The Singers worked their way to the lead driving in a pack when first AVC 484 the 482 and 483 suffered steering problems on their modied steerings and '481 was withdrawn on safety grounds.
No of the drivers were injured, but keen to avoid negative publicity, Singer closed the competition department at the end of that year With the cars being purchased by an Autosports outfit. They went on to compete at the 1937 Le Mans 24 hour and Donington TT. Before being sold into private hands in 1938 and continued to be campaigned
Sister car AVC 484 was sold recently at auction for £ 132,000.
