This Christmas, lovers of quality live band music have one destination for back to back entertainment at the elegant Blackberry Lounge, the live band headquarters.
Four of Ghana’s top quality and most entertaining bands – Adaha Dance Band, Deedew Crew, the Ark Band and Swiss Band – are collaborating with the live band headquarters to make this Christmas a truly memorable one with friends and family right in Accra, the capital city.
Explaining the rationale for the event, the General Manager of Blackbery Lounge, Anna Wussah, said following a series of thrilling live band experiences with the likes of Kwabena Kwabena, Efya and recently with the Adaha Band, the company’s customers have specifically requested that “all they need from us this Christmas is live band entertainment”.
The entertainment will kick-off with a double dose this weekend on Friday, December 15 with Adaha and Saturday, December 16 with Deedew Crew. A week later on December 22, the award-winning Ark Band will come with their variety and swag; then the contemporary Swiss Band will do the final performance to close the festival.
“Apart from Blackberry Lounge, no other place has lined up such big names in the live band industry. It has taken us a lot of effort, but trust me, it will be worth it; and the responses we are getting from our customers and social media platforms suggest that the patronage will be huge,” the general manager added.
She went on to explain that “live band goes beyond the big names; it’s also about the sound quality, and we have it”.
Blackberry Lounge, the first of its kind at the Spintex-Lashibi area, is a modern garden-type restaurant, lounge, sports bar and event facility designed for young adults and adults who are typically corporate executives, employees and businessowners to relax, enjoy good music, food and barbeque, as well as a variety of cocktails, mocktails and an assortment of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.
The live bands are not the only events this Christmas. There will be other events such as Ladies Affair on 22nd, Into the Groove on 24th, Karaoke night on 25th, and Acoustic Night on 29th. Blackberry Lounge will also be feeding over 200 underprivileged children on Christmas day.
