We are happy to report that her album Don’t Explain is held is such high regard that it was recently nominated for a South African Music Award (SAMA) in the “Best Contemporary Jazz Album” category.

Those who know this website’s commitment to Sevens Rugby as well as our sister-website BlitzBokke.com will understand when we announce that we just voted for the Hong Kong Sevens Rugby Team in the 2011 Bank of China Hong Kong Sports Stars Awards.
The category we selected was Hong Kong Sports Stars Award for Team Only Sport (One Team).
With the annual Cathay Pacific/Credit Suisse Hong Kong Sevens generally considered as THE tournament of the HSBC Sevens World Series and given the support (and performance last season of the local Boys) it seemed only the right thing to do.
