So anyway, I guess I'll wrap this blog up for now. No doubt it will be added to again at some stage - probably next year it seems.
This trip has been very successful - the Exchange Summit exceeded expectations and it will be great to see what transpires over the coming years as a result. We pretty glad that people actually turned up, connected with each other and seemed to get a lot out of the conference. Our team worked incredibly hard to make it happen and really deserved the couple of days 'R&R' on the Masai Mara at the end.
Thanks for taking the journey with me!

Restoring the Sound
Trevor Sampson is doing a fantastic work in the township of Macassar, outside Capetown South Africa. Check out his website www.restoringthesound.com
This is a video of a young local girl who really surprised Trevor with what came out when she opened her mouth in an audition earlier this year. I asked her to come and sing for us when I visited the RTS Centre in May:

Exchange - the video
The final wrap up... (like the one posted earlier, but with additional titles, extra footage of the final day, and no added sugar)

Safari & Capetown
We finished off Exchange with a huge day on Thurdsay, which was fantastic. It was really sad to see everybody go their separate ways - we now have friends in so many different countries, it will take us months of travelling next time to visit them!! I'll post some pics when I get the chance.
We then went on safari for 3 days (no internet!!) which was really cool. Same place as I went last time "
Ilkeliani" and it was great to chill out a bit with the team after everyone worked so hard to host the conference. The highlight of the safari was seeing a cheetah just minutes after it had killed an impala - it was still eating some of it, and had the new born impala just wandering around it, completely unaware of the predator that had killed its mother, and oblivious to the fact that it was going to be the cheetah's breakfast the next day! Gross, but a highlight nonetheless!!
Again - i'll post some more pics & video sometime when I get some time.
I'm in Capetown at the moment with Trevor Sampson (he says hi to you all!) and checking out what's happening with 'Restoring the Sound'. He's doing a sensational job here, with huge vision and wonderful results even now.
Looking forward to getting home now though! More later...
