There were also several other personalities, some representing sponsors, who all appreciated the essence of the LAL Ball and its role in the development of \u00a0the creative arts in this country.<\/p>\n<p>Richard Acheampong, General Manager for Marketing Services at MTN Ghana, said his outfit \u00a0was proud to be associated with the LAL Ball which recognises the exploits of renowned musicians.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are proud not only to be headline sponsor but \u00a0we have also invested in various platforms on our network to promote the works of these legends even as we celebrate them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t believe it is just enough to look at these legends from afar and wave at them. We must go out of our way to patronise their works,\u201d the MTN official said.<\/p>\n<p>No details were given about the support acts for November 1 LAL Ball, except the mention of stylish lawyer, Nana Asante Bediatuo, whom the organisers said would surely be on stage to perform.<\/p>\n<p>Sponsors of the MTN LAL Ball are Global Access, Oak Plaza Hotel, Danny\u2019s D\u00e9cor, GTP NU Style, Special Ice Mineral Water.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/graphic.com.gh\/entertainment\/music\/31713-it-s-the-music-man-s-turn.html\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #666699;\"><strong>Graphic Online<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After several weeks of music lovers guessing which musician would be celebrated at the 2014 \u00a0MTN Legends and Legacy (LAL) Ball, it has \u00a0finally \u00a0been revealed by event organisers, Imajin Advertising, that Kojo Antwi is the man.
