Henry Olonga to speak at town sports dinner

Back by popular demand The Shrewsbury Club’s … SPORTS DINNER

An evening of fine food and entertaining sports stories
Friday 28th February 2014 at 7:30pm

Enjoy a three course meal lovingly prepared by our Head Chef Duncan and his team and then sit back and enjoy some after dinner
entertainment from: Henry Olonga

A former Zimbabwean test cricketer, Olonga achieved international recognition
(along with team mate Andy Flower) in 2003 by wearing a black armband in a
Cricket World Cup match to protest against the policies of Zimbabwe’s
government, led by Robert Mugabe. This act led to a warrant issued in
Zimbabwe for Olonga’s arrest on charges of treason and forced him to retire
from international cricket and temporarily go into hiding. Henry is now
pursuing a career as a singer, artist and photographer and has appeared in
numerous festivals and theatre productions. His incredible life story coupled
with his superb voice makes him one of most sought after entertainers on the
after dinner circuit.
