Last night, the 5th Heavy Chef Session was presented by a very special guest-speaker (guest-singer?) Verity came to tell us about her journey over the past 2 years since she embarked on her quest to get her songs recorded. Instead of signing her life away to a record label, she aimed to raise the R400 000 to pay for a professional production to be made. By selling her album in advance through her website, she has managed to raise an incredible R200 000 already – enough to start the production and give R30 000 to charity! We managed to co-erce a song out of her – do yourself a favour and check it out (click on the video below), and then head onto www.iamverity.com and buy your future copy now!

Watching with interest were Shane Dryden (from Live Alchemy), Lisa Griggs (Lisa’s Little Wine Shop), Rowan Jacklin (AV Direct), Eric Edelstein (from just about every IT company in SA), Frank and Anne-Marelle Meijer (Creme & Cacao), Jackie Cleobury (Cape Nature), Catherine Luckhoff (Mango-OMC) and David Murray (Cape Venture Partners). Thanks all for coming!
