The Fun's Not Over - The James Phillips Story
Thursday Jan 17 20:00
44 Stanley, 44 Stanley Ave, Milpark
Gaining renown for his politically provocative lyrics, Phillips came under the South African spotlight with his 1983 single Hou My Vas korporaal (Hold Me Tightly, Corporal), which became the anthem of the End Conscription Campaign. In 1985 Phillips and the Cherry-Faced Lurchers released what has become one of his most iconic songs Shot Down, which challenged both white privilege and the violence of the apartheid state.
The Fun's Not Over tells Phillip’s life story in his own words with special appearances and insights from his musical collaborators like Koos Kombuis and Vusi Mahlesela, contemporary trailblazer Afrikaans musicians like Jack Parow and acclaimed journalists such as Max du Preez, cartoonist Zapiro and comedian Pieter Dirk Uys.
