In what has become Classic263 radio traditional treat for the old and mature listeners the Big boys and Big Girls fan club had their insatiable thirst and appetite for sweet mature music quenched on unity day as they enjoyed the day through music, dance and interact at the Red Eagles Bar in Ruwa as they celebrated their end of year Get Together ceremony.
The club a brain child of former Classic 263 radio presenter Ronald D-Train Chiwanza also extended an invite to the Steppers fan club a brain child of Terrence “Hotstepper” Mapurisana coincidentally the gesture vibed with the Unity Day theme as it managed to unite the two music fan clubs cutting across the fan divide.
In a speech read on his behalf the Steppers GT Chairman Givemore Manatsa applauded the BG&BBs fo their kind gesture as they were returning a leaf as one of the BG&BBs executive member also attended the Steppers GT earlier this month.
He went on to reiterate how such events have managed to bring out solidarity and unity amongst the fans within the various Classic 263 radio fan clubs.
“… some members of the Steppers Club are in attendance, an indication of togetherness, of course, music being the main unifier.
Let me also take this opportunity to thank your Organising Secretary, Sir Zviko Chipangura, for gracing our just ended Get Together which occurred on the 9th of December, 2023, at Prince Edward School
GOD willing, we converge again in 2024 at our respective Get Togethers”, said Manatsa.
Red Eagles proprietor Dr Bernard Madzima was amused by the turnout and revealed how he hopes that all Classic263 radio fan sectors can join hands in harnessing plans to bring radio to the people in the near future.
” I am honoured by the overwhelming attendance and i can testify that indeed Classic263 radio has managed to unite all through music thus it is my wish cash permitting that all fan sectors can achieve to hold a live radio broadcast at this venue in the near future,” he said.
Perfomances from the artists lineup really proved to the old adage, ‘Age aint nothing but a number’, as the old and mature fans took to the dancefloor showcasing their dances moves till the wee hours of the morning as they reminisced of their good old days gone by.
