Everywhere they go, Freshlyground are a sensation. In South Africa audiences of every race cram in to see them. Old people get up and dance. Hip black teenagers sing to their lyrics. White kids emulate their moves. The very presence of this band in South Africa is the promise of a harmonious future. But they don't sit still for the picture. Sony BMG have lured them to Europe where they're set to release their current album “Nomvula” in July.

Nomvula has magnetism that comes from the fine balance it achieves between vivacious, catchy melodies and deeply introspective ballads. Maybe it's the harmony between the various elements in the group, or the level of musical comfort among them. Whatever it is, this is the album that has brazenly announced Freshlyground's arrival on the doorstep of the world. “Doo Be Doo” is probably the catchiest tune ever written. Their winning of a prestigious MTV Award for "Best African Act" in Copenhagen in November 2006 is also proof of their music and popularity.

This is the Irish public’s chance to get a preview of things to come.

Don't miss this chance to see South Africa's hottest band live!
