He has given hope to Ghanaian artists to expand their reach across borders and hopefully he’ll be back again bigger and better!

It was a historical moment as this was his first headline tour in the UK in an almost 10-year professional career and it was fully sold out too. He also became more intimate with his fans as he jumped off the stage and shook the hands of many. Stonebwoy continued to wow the crowd as performed more hit songs and put his dance moves on display. Rising star Wauve also made an appearance as he represented Ethiopia through “Pamela”, a song heavy on strings and punchy kicks. Nana Rogues, a British-Ghanaian artist and producer ensured the crowd not to stress as they performed their single “Don’t Stress”. Nigeria’s very own DJ Cuppy followed up as Stonebwoy and herself performed their 2020 single “Karma”.Īlicai Harley brought a sprinkle of Jamaican flavour to the show as she and Stonebwoy performed “Understand”, a mix of bashment and afrobeats music.
First was Ghana’s own Article Wan who performed his breakthrough hit “Solo”, which actually means “different” in the Ga language. It wasn’t long until Stonebwoy was joined by his special guests. This meant that songs such as the evergreen “Higher”, “Baafira” and “Pull Up” were performed with immense energy to the extent that you could feel the ground shaking beneath you! The deep and reflective vibes ended there as Stonebwoy entered a groove and became more upbeat. He did remind the crowd that life is really a journey as he performed “Journey ”, my personal favourite song off the ‘ Anloga Junction’ album. It was almost like a homecoming for Stonebwoy as he slowly emerged into the centre of the stage whilst soulfully performing the smash hit “Tomorrow”, a song that talks about today’s struggles whilst hoping for a better tomorrow. Coupled with supporting acts such as DJ Neptune and GHB2B, who reloaded the bangers of old and new from Ghana and across the African continent, the scene was set for Stonebwoy to grace the stage and bless his fans with his extensive catalogue of hits. Considering the UK had faced three national lockdowns between March 2020 and March 2021, it’s no surprise that people were ready to shake a leg.

The movement of the tub shakes the cage free from the top of the pole and allows it to fall.Whilst everyone was waiting for the ultimate moment in which Stonebwoy would grace the stage, the pre-party vibes were through the roof. This catapults a diver on the other end into a tub which is on the same base as the barbed pole supporting the mouse cage. The movement of the pole knocks the ball free to fall through a hole in its platform into a bathtub, and then through a hole in the tub onto one end of a seesaw. This leads the marble to hit a vertical pole, at the top of which is an open hand, palm-up, which is supporting a larger ball. This causes the boot to kick over a bucket, sending a marble down a zig-zagging incline which feeds into a chute. As that gear turns, it pushes an elastic-loaded lever until it snaps back in place, hitting a swinging boot. In a proper operation, the player turns the crank, which rotates a vertical gear, connected to a horizontal gear. In case you wanted to remember those steps again, Wikipedia has the answer : Pretty impressive work, however it looks like something similar has been undertaken before :Īnd for added goodness, here are some old Mouse Trap commercials : … and this video shows “the build and play” Of course you would have trouble finding a mouse this big, but maybe they are larger in England. We raised over £2000 for the Shooting Star childrens hospice… brilliant day…”įrom what I can tell, they used a real tub, and then based the scale on the rest of the trap on that tub, thus “life sized”. The description on the video reads : “Over a few pints a group of friends decided it would be a great idea to build a lifesize replica of the Mousetrap game… and here it is – The complete giant Mouse Trap day at the Lamb pub in Surbiton. Well some good folks outside of London at The Lamb Pub in Surbiton have created a life sized version. Everyone remembers the game Mouse Trap from their childhood, where you create a Rube Goldberg style contraption to trap a mouse.
