yep towards november december

The show will get cancelled due to not enough tickets sold or it will be a mpiaka. Im not a person that cares about attendance & sold out stuff because its bullshit & is holding the scene back but Fally couldn’t sell out OVO arena so they had the curtains up at the right at the back but roughly had 10,000 people there which was big enough because OVO holds 12,000 people. Today i saw ferre talking about not having curtains but that will backfire on him if hes OVO arena, his fanbase isn’t that big enough in the UK for him to fill up OVO arena. He should brixton o2 or hammersmith apollo which holds 5,000 people.

yeah london is not an easy place,its a "better" version of the states for our artists,one thing which could go in his favour however is that eternal underdog tag a lot of people have on him,that he is never capable of anything and him ending up doing it at the end we dont know how long it will continue but still its been materialising consecutively for years now
lol that curtains thing i believe is a return of banter to rumour that he had a very reduced capacity
honestly i am not a big fan of this new era,configuration soldout and this and that,i would not be surprised if this is more stressful to the artists than even their performance

I think Ferre has a bigger fan base in London than people think, very true that OVO may be a stretch but if he is up for the challenge why not
-
Believe me when I say this, Ferre has a big fan base here in London. We will be waiting for him with open arms

People really underestimate the Congolese community in London lol. Sure it’s not as big as Paris but it’s up there. Ferre is loved in London ever since his maison mere days, Fally performed in a packed out Wembley OVO so Ferre will have no problems either. The funniest thing is patriotism aside both Fally fans and Ferre fans talk rubbish about each others artists but they’ll still go to the other artists concert lol, at Fally’s concert the amount of people I knew that said they don’t rate Fally were still in attendance lol and it’ll be the exact same thing at Ferre’s.
But Ferre’s marketing team needs to promote the event right like Fally did by going on BBC 1 radio and also go the Congolese restaurant Deluxe Manna.

Fally’s promotion was messed up because he went on radio with ivorian british born star Afro B’s show but for some reason it didn’t get release, his interview with eddie kadi didn’t get released either just behind the scenes videos of him in the bbc studios. Ferre will need to contact the british congolese social media pages like voiceofcongo (very pro fally page) & congotoglobal (the owner is who brought fally to london) to help for promotion. I know he’s got a big Congolese following here in the UK but at fally’s show you had a lot of francophone speaking people there as well with a younger fanbase. But its true what was said a lot of fally haters were at the concert also because its a motive for Congolese people & here in london we don’t get that compared to the anglophone west africans when their artists come here more often. Hopefully ferres label help out because his promotion in france & belgium have been very good. I’ll be at the concert for sure

Fally's interview with Eddie Kadi was released, it's just not available anymore on the bbc radio website then again all the episodes from that show have been taken down. Congotoglobal were vital with Sally's promotion because I remember they had the big poster on some underground stations. Ferre definitely should get in touch with those pages but either way I think he'll be fine.

See if it was released it wasn’t promoted at least they shouldve had a clip on YouTube. The owner of congotoglobal is Moko & he’s the promoter who brings congolese/french born Congolese artists to london & makes sure they’re at good venues
