DJ FRESH GOES GLAM AT FIREMAN’S BALL 2009

The Biggest Gay Pride After-Party in South Africa - the 2009 VAWTER FIREMANS BALL – has just announced the final star-studded line-up of Performing Artists & DJs for this highly anticipated annual event, which will ignite on Saturday, 3 October 2009 at the new super club; JET situated in Joburg’s North at The Coca Cola Dome.

In a first ever exclusive for the Fireman’s Ball, 5FM’s DJ Fresh will be gracing the party in full drag:  “Many a time I have been called a Diva... Come Fireman’s Ball I will show you Diva and Queen all in one, live on the decks!” proclaims Fresh in solidarity with his gay brothers and sisters who joins SAMA-winner and pop diva Tamara Dey (from Flash Republic), live performer Matt Counihan and SA’s top DJs live on stage.

Apart from Fresh ‘glamming’ it up like never before, get ready for a few out-of-the-box surprises, including a live performance from Tamara Dey – who can’t wait to set the dancefloor on fire: “The Fireman’s Ball is going to be one of the hottest Parties of the year and I can’t wait to get up on that stage and Party with all the hottest boys in Town " says Tamara.

Popular international theatre performer Matt Counihan is quite secretive about what he has up his sleeve for his live performance, but he does reveal that “you will experience quite a few of your favorite hits being given the distinctive Fireman’s Ball twist.   From Robbie Williams to Mika, no artist is too sacred for a make-over.  Come let me entertain you!”  Following the Fireman’s Ball, Matt will star locally and abroad in a brand new 2010 production of Grease.

Expect the unexpected with immaculate style and scathing commentary from Duchess the Huskapoodle (and her devious Ventriloquist), who will be greeting guests on the green Vawter carpet for live interviews on VAWTER TV – screened on plasma screens all over the Fireman’s Ball.

The year's top Pride after-party will set three floors on fire with the cream-of-the-crop, when it comes to a quality and diverse line-up of DJs: Join 5FM’s DJ Fresh, Sasha Martinengo, Erica Elle plus Grant & Anele, along with superstars Ryan Dent, Dizzy, Kevin Grenfell and Stuart Hillary; with no-holds-barred support from Qc² residents Groove Element and Leroy Tayler (CT).  Also hitting the decks will be Marius Martise who is well-known for his kick-ass mixes on Fresh's Ultimix@6 slot, Bren and DJ Sands.

Below follows the full line-up for the 2009 Vawter Fireman’s Ball on 3 October 2009 at Jet:

Following from the magnificent 2007 and 2008 events, this year’s event will be an explosion of style, light, video and the best production there is. With the help of the biggest single sponsorship of a gay community event VAWTER Alcoholic Spring Water will propel the Fireman’s Ball 2009 to the next level with an event that is going to blow all expectations! 

“An event such as this which is well known for its upmarket stylishness is a great association with the sophisticated, distinctive appeal of Vawter alcoholic spring water” says Shannon Grundlingh, VAWTER Brand Manager.

The event will again be hosted by Qc2 Productions, well-known for their upmarket, stylish & totally “must be seen at” monthly parties with the help of their production partners Rain and XGX international.   Brace yourself for fireboys & firegirls, eyeboggling laser, light & video displays, breathtaking décor and much, much more than you could ever wish for.   This will be a party to chapter in your memoirs!

“We are pulling out all the stops to present one of the most groundbreaking parties ever in terms of production, entertainment and Qc2 style excitement as never seen before, Because life should be a disco ball!”  Says Pieter Rossouw, Qc2 Director.
