President Rawlings doesn't really like going to public
functions. Met his wife and family at
the Movenpick Hotel's New Year dinner and that's what she revealed when I asked
about him. He did turn up before
midnight though. Magnetic
personality. Hotel staff falling over
themselves to take a photo with probably Ghana's most popular celebrity.
Event itself was enthralling. Breathtaking winter-themed setting (minus the
sub-zero temperatures!) by Jandel.
Enough food to feed a village.
Entertainment was varied - live
music by the evergreen 25-years-and-still-going-strong Zuum Band; soulful
sounds from the gospel acapella quartet Psalms;
free Azonto lessons from the Flash Mob for the 300 plus revelers; body-contorting acrobatic show just before
midnight and to cap everything, a spectacular fireworks display to sign out
2012 and welcome 2013. My work was done
by 1am. Ended the old year and started
the new one working. Hope that's a good
sign :) Happy New Year to you!
