Jane & Bernice In the middle of a show, a musician asks the disc jockey (DJ) to select track one. The request to the DJ for track one sounds like nine to him. He thus plays track nine. And, boom, there is confusion.
Well, the best solution to this rather recurrent and unpleasant experience may be a religious resort to live band performance. And it appears that the gospel duo, Jane and Bernice, have realised that.
And to prove their new-found love with live band performances, their first concert this year, held at the Coconut Groove Regency Hotel in Accra to launch their latest album, Asem No Nie, was a marathon live performance from the instruments of the Zithers Band.
The crowd was thick and the atmosphere was charged as the drummer, guitarists and other instrumentalists took turns in-between the show to give solo performance on their individual instruments with skill and style.
Other top gospel singers present at the concert including, Stella Dugan and Cindy Thompson, were visibly moved by the stagecraft of their colleagues, Jane and Bernice, and were also obviously ?kicked? by the heavy sounds of the live instruments.
Some guests at the show who spoke to Graphic Showbiz threw a challenge to other Ghanaian artistes to go live, and as one of them put it, ?avoid fighting with DJs and scratched CDs?.
The Jane and Bernice/Zithers Band concert was sponsored by Akosombo Textiles Limited (ATL).
