Christmas eve has always been a sleepless night for many in Ghana as people keep vigil awaiting the birth of the saviour. It’s also one of the peak periods for event organisers and those who love to party. This year’s December 24 will be unlike any other seen in the history of showbiz in Ghana as Kojo Antwi and Ofori Amponsah lock horns for the 24th crowd.
Ofori Amponsah’s management with the help of popular event organisers, Charterhouse, recently launched an event dubbed, ‘Ghana rocks with Ofori Amponsah and friends’. The organisers told the press it would be an annual affair.
It means that Ofori Amponsah is going to share the December 24 market with the maestro, Kojo Antwi. There certainly are fans of Kojo Antwi who love Ofori Amponsah and vice versa.
On the other hand, Kojo Antwi, ‘the musicman’, is known for his annual December 24 event where most of his fans turn up to have a direct feel of him on stage.

Sources say Kojo Antwi’s event will come off at the International Conference Centre whilst Ofori Amponsah’s takes place at the National Theatre.
Ghana is almost definitely gearing up for the clash of the titans on December 24, 2007 as far as the music aspect of showbiz is concerned.
Brisk publicity has started in the media on ‘Ghana rocks with Ofori Amponsah and friends’. Ofori’s team has been quick with publicity partly because he’s relatively new in the December 24 game.
Not much has been heard from Kojo Antwi’s management team about his event, which is leading pundits into doubting whether his event will really come off this year.
Either way, where would you go, should Kojo Antwi and Ofori Amponsah hold a concert at different venues on December 24?
