Special lG Live performance for SA by James Blake

A tweet which @Zoddies thought would not do much, secured a live performance by James Blake dedicated to South Africans during this lockdown period. How cool?! 

The British singer-songwriter has previously communicated his love for our country and even shared thoughts about performing here. Last year, right before the President's address, @misszan asked for him to perform a little number on Instagram Live as we were about to be addressed by President Cyril Ramaphosa regarding the Level 5 lockdown we were newly introduced to:

It happened again this week, with one @Thobby07 sharing: "We're under heavy lockdown and need your voice to comfort us. Now more than ever." 

The 'I Need A Forest Fire' singer sent a reply saying:

He finally responded and confirmed a performance time and day. He also made a special shoutout to South Africa since we are back to level 4 lockdown, which sees a pause to many people's work, especially in the hospitality industry. 

Go on Instagram and enjoy a special performance just for us:

The 32-year-old has performed with award-winning artists including Bon Iver, Kendrick Lamar, Beyonce, and many more.  

He has won a Mercury Prize from two nominations, a Grammy Award from five nominations, including for 'Best New Artist' in 2014; and three Brit Award nominations.

We should try to tweet all our favourite artists for these live performances, as who knows? 

Try tweet Darren Maule for a short comedy performance, no?
