The AUGUST Live Band Concert: How Gloria Ibru and friends rocked Victoria Island

It was yet another night of excitement for fans of LIVE BAND Music, when Club Nitro played host to the musical show tagged ‘GLORIA IBRU AND FRIENDS’ which held its 5th edition at the venue. 

Having successfully staged four previous editions in the last four months at different locations in Lagos, fans at  Victoria Island had a taste of the well packaged show, headlined by the undisputed goddess of JAZZ LIFE music, Gloria Ibru in an electrifying atmosphere. 

The event kicked off with performances from
the 'Young Guns' such as; SOMA, DON STEFANO, the HYD group and finally Gloria Ibru's protege Day9, whose outstanding performance paved way to a standing ovation when the goddess GLORIA IBRU stepped on stage, performing hit tracks from her up coming debut album as well as classic melodies which the audience could not help but dance and sing along to.

The night was far from being over, as STAN IYKE proved to the ladies that sometimes the best things come in small packages, showing how much he is a lady's man with his brand of music.

Just when fans thought they had seen and heard it all, what arguably turned out to be the highlight of the show, was the appearance of current Hip-Hop World Award winning Lyrist on the Roll Vector performing along side Gloria Ibru for the first time, to her hit single 'Only For Sometime' which features in Gloria Ibru's upcoming album in the coming months. 

The night was crowned with the performance of pop icon of the 90s Alex O, who took those in attendance down memory lane with his hits, eventually rounding off his performance with a birthday song for Vector as it turned out to be his birthday in the early hours of the morning with a cake presented to him by Gloria Ibru and Friends crew. The G. NOTES live band also proved to all and Sundry why they are gradually being regarded as Africa's number one band! 

Special guests and dignitaries included the likes of DEDE MABIAKU, AMBASSADOR ELAJOE and JAFEXTRA to mention but a few. While the combination of ELVINA IBRU of Classic FM and JUSTICE ATIGOGO as MCs for the night, proved to always be on point in their delivery and direction of a well packaged show.

It is not in doubt that, attendees of the show, can't wait for the September edition, which as always comes up on the first Saturday of every month. 

See you at the concert next month.
