both young and old. Incredible generous donation “The event triggered an incredibly generous donation to the Uitenhage SPCA from Kim Clement, an ex-Uitenhager, now resident in the USA. “Kim’s donation is the largest donation received from an individual to the society, and will greatly contribute to giving abused, abandoned and neglected animals a second chance at life,” said Swift.

attended. Residents turned out in their hundreds in support of the event and were taken on a trip down memory lane with youthful memories being revived by the strains of old classics,” said Deirdre Swift, a representative of the Uitenhage SPCA. “From the very first chords struck, the performances were polished and professional and had the audience on their feet dancing and singing along.” Bands such as Dark Custard, Caravan, Day Trippers, Yet Again and Poltergeist all took to the stage and delivered wonderful renditions of much loved songs to entertain
The Uitenhage SPCA extends its heartfelt gratitude to Kim for his support and incredible generosity. Although not present at the function, Kim was represented by his brother Dave and nephew, Wesley. “To John and his team of musicians who so freely gave their time and shared their wonderful talent with us, a very big thank you. Without them this event would never have taken place. “Hats off too, to every member of the public who supported the event, contributing to its resounding success.”
