Jerry Watt, die geliefde hoofkitaarspeler, stigterslid en leier van die alombekende groep The Rockets, is Donderdag 9 Februarie oorlede.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wyle Watt het onlangs die nuus van sy kankerdiagnose met sy aanhangers gedeel. Die kanker was reeds toe al in \u2019n gevorderde stadium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Rockets het die hartseer nuus van Watt se afsterwe die aand van sy dood op hul Facebook-blad met aanhangers gedeel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die inskrywing lui as volg: \u201cJerry Watt, leier van The Rockets, man, pa, seun, broer en oupa, is vanaand oorlede omring deur familie. Hy het \u2019n dapper stryd tot die einde toe geveg. Sy nalatenskap sal vir ewig voortleef deur sy musiek. Ons gaan hom baie mis. Soos Jerry altyd ges\u00ea het, \u2018Let the music play\u2019, en The Rockets-afskeidskonserte sal voortgaan volgens sy wense.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Rockets het jaarliks toegesien dat Paarliete die jaar op \u2019n ho\u00eb noot begin met hul gewilde optredes wat in Januarie by die Afrikaanse Taalmonument gehou word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Di\u00e9 groep het ook onlangs aangekondig The Rockets se reis sal as gevolg van Watt se afsterwe tot \u2019n einde kom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die oorblywende lede van The Rockets sien egter steeds baie uit na hul optrede by die Amfiteater op Paarlberg op 11 Maart en wil dit \u2019n opwindende huldeblyk aan Watt maak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die groep het Sondag saam met Colin \u201cBones\u201d Delight, Theo Watt, Jano van der Berg en Devanish Jeodhouse, asook Dr Victor, Rjay en LK, The Fantastics, The Young Visitors en Uncle Cal twee afskeidskonserte by Hanover Street, GrandWest Casino, gehou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Manuel Losper, hoofsanger van The Rockets, het ges\u00ea hulle is opgewonde om weer in die Paarl op te tree, hoewel die optrede \u2019n bietjie hartseer sal wees, aangesien die Paarl een van Watt se gunstelingplekke was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHy het altyd nostalgies gepraat oor die ou dae, toe die band <\/span>gereeld by die Drakenstein-hotel opgetree het,\u201d s\u00ea Losper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHy was lief vir die Paarl en sy mense en wou altyd iets spesiaals vir hulle doen. Nou is dit aan ons as die oorblywende Rockets om Jerry se nalatenskap lewend te hou en op 11 Maart met iets spesiaals vorendag te kom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cJerry het altyd ges\u00ea \u2018laat die musiek speel\u2019 en ons sal uit ons vel speel vir die Rockets-aanhangers van die Paarl.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n .<\/span> Young Gardens Rugbyklub vier sy 75ste bestaansjaar en die Back to our Roots-musiekfees op 11 Maart is een van die hoogtepunte op sy feesprogram vir die jaar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dit sal ook een van die laaste kanse wees dat aanhangers The Rockets onder hierdie naam sal kan sien optree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Alistair Izobell, ook \u2019n voormalige Rockets-hoofsanger, The Richard Ceasar Band, die saxofoonspeler by uitstek Don Vino, asook plaaslike talent Loren Erasmus, Chelsea Vox, Carl Hendricks en RJay & LK sal ook optree en die Marco Mentoor Band sal die ondersteunende orkes wees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Die hekke open om 13:00 en die musiek begin om 15:00. \u2019n Kroeg en kosstalletjies sal beskikbaar wees. Geen eie kos en drinkgoed word toegelaat nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kaartjies kos R170 en is te koop by www.webtickets.co.za en Pick n Pay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Jerry Watt, die
