Brick N Lace at Mbire party

MONEY talks they say so when one man, who apparently has little trouble spending it says he wants one of the hottest musical groups on the international scene performing at a private party in the comfort of his residence, oh, they will listen! On New Year’s Eve, Charles Mbire, the MTN (Uganda) chairman and only Ugandan with a (5%) stake in the South African firm, summoned the multi-genre Jamaican duo Brick N Lace to his swanky Nakasero residence before their Hotel Africana do.

Apparently, Mbire’s daughters Nadia and Thandiwe, who both attend high school in the UK and are huge fans of the singers, had told their dad they wanted to have a private audience with their idols.

As such, Brick N Lace were hosted by the Mbire girls to a dinner at the house before they proceeded to the gardens where they performed to a select audience of Nadia and Thandiwe’s friends whose parents read like a list of who’s who on the society scale.

There was Fred Mugenga, heir apparent to the Mugenga empire, the Bunyeyezis, Kigongos, Col. Elly Kayanja, Eng. John Nasisira and Amelia Kyambedde’s. children. We don’t know how much Mbire paid the girls to perform but we hear they charged about sh37m for their commercial shows.
