For over an hour, Sunbird Mount Soche staff engaged in the rigorous errand of fetching chairs from the adjacent rooms to cater for the patrons who had no seats.
But the long wait for seats did not dampen the enthusiasm of the patrons though and soon order was restored in the vast room. Raising the curtain on the night’s menu was the Lilongwe-based Chanco Catholic Alumni Choir.
The second act to take to the stage was acapella group Joyful Souls which also entertained patrons with their wonderful and well-coordinated tunes.
The event’s host Chikondi Kasambara had to curtail their stay on stage as the programme was running behind schedule.
Before Lawi took to the stage, there was space for seasoned artist Ethel Kamwendo Banda to remind everyone that she still has enough energy in her tank. The ageless star dazzled in both her singing and energetic dancing.
