Die Paarl is die perfekte plek vir The Rockets om tot \u2019n einde te kom. S\u00f3 s\u00ea Theo Watt, voormalige voorsanger van The Rockets, oor die groep se heel laaste optrede di\u00e9 Saterdag in die Amfiteater op Paarlberg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die groep se swanesang is deel van die rugbyklub Young Gardens se Back to our Roots-musiekfees waarmee hy sy 75ste bestaansjaarvieringe begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit is die laaste keer dat The Rockets onder di\u00e9 naam sal optree omdat die groep n\u00e1 meer as vyf dekades gaan ontbind n\u00e1 die onlangse dood van hul legendariese leier, Jerry Watt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Theo is opgewonde om die Paarliete een laaste keer te vermaak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie Paarl is eintlik die Rockets se tweede tuiste, want ons het dinge altyd in die Drakenstein-hotel geruk. Ons het op \u2019n tyd elke naweek daar gespeel en dit was altyd gepak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie mense van die Paarl is mal oor die Rockets en daar kon nie \u2019n beter keuse gewees het om die band<\/i> \u2018toe te maak\u2019 as in die Paarl nie. Die ondersteuning daar was altyd amazing<\/i>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
En om \u2019n tribute vir sy oom Jerry te kan doen, gaan die geleentheid net nog meer spesiaal maak. \u201cEk dink nie jy gaan ooit weer so \u2019n band leader<\/i> soos Jerry kry nie. Hy het sy alles vir The Rockets gegee. Hy het ons Kombi alleen uit die Kaap tot in Namibi\u00eb en terug bestuur. Dit wys sy toewyding aan die band<\/i>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Theo het \u2019n lang pad met musiek gestap en lei deesdae sy eie groep. Hy het goeie herinneringe aan sy tyd by The Rockets. \u201cEk het op sewe begin sing en op ho\u00ebrskool het hulle my gedurende vakansies na Jo\u2019burg of Sun City en sulke plekke laat vlieg om saam met hulle te perform<\/i>. Ek was vir 32 jaar lid van The Rockets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDis seker \u2019n fairytale<\/i> dat ons nou klaarmaak in die Paarl, wat vir ons \u2019n tweede tuiste is.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
