To add to the buzz around the concert, Nic Barrow of Le Lude has given the CPO a magnum of 2012 Le Lude Cap Classique, valued at R1840 to raffle in his honour.
Tickets for the concert are R75, R100 for concert and a chance to win the bubbly, and R50 for a magnum ticket alone.
Says Nic Barrow, “We are exceptionally proud of this talented young man and we wish him the very best as he begins this new chapter abroad. We have no doubt that he will proudly uphold both the CPO and South African flags throughout his endeavours and we look forward to seeing the great heights that this young star shall reach.”
Brooks plans to leave on August 28, planes permitting, to take up his scholarship.
