Every now and then, London does something different and as part of the City of London Festival, the Soweto Gospel Choir came over to sing at St Pauls' Cathedral. At only £10 a ticket (being virtually the price to get into St Pauls' anyway), my mom, Ju and I headed there to hear them. The 24 strong Soweto Gospel Choir, complete with African drums literally rocked the hallowed halls of St Pauls and I think I had goose bumps for the entire hour and a half. They sang Zulu, Xhosa and Sotho songs as well as a few well known English songs for the Brits, namely 'Amazing grace' and 'This little light'. It was fabulous to see them get such standing ovations at the end from a cathedral bursting at it's seams. Definately a 'Proudly South african' moment.
