Everything is set for annual The Encomium White Gig event holding this Sunday.

In its 5^th edition, the event aims to bring together the bright, the bold and the brave in an evening filled with Cognac cocktails, beautiful ballads and unbelievable fun. The “Take the steps, Walk the Talk” gig will hold at The Haven GRA, Ikeja on 18 March, 2012.

Kunle Bakare, publisher of Encomium said the organisation had gone all out to invite everyone that matters including musicians, actors, socialites, entrepreneurs, business leaders, Government, media titans, and ardent Encomium readers.. “We are looking forward to hosting the brightest and boldest minds from all over the country,” he said.

Regular guests of the gig include Funke Akindele, Bisi Olatilo, Jimmy JATT, Weird MC, Genevieve Nnaji, Omowunmi Akinnifesi, Julius Agwu, T.W.O, Princess, Sunny Neji, Dayo Adeneye and Keke Ogungbe. And we are told that a couple of them have already been confirmed for the annual event.

The 6-hour event will kick off with an elaborate red carpet reception. The iconic DJ Jimmy JATT will guide guests through soft, smooth and at times wild music; and guests will have an opportunity to dance and prance from 4PM to 10PM.

In its fifth year, the White Gig started when Encomium marked her 10^th Anniversary in 2007.

This year’s event is supported by LR Cognac, Kiss Events, JATT INC, Couture Cakes, BlackHouse Media, and Replica Digital. It will take place at The Haven from 4PM to 10PM on Sunday March 18, 2012.
