After rescheduling the appointment because there was an emergency meeting with one of the sponsors, we finally meet with Hamptons Jazz Festival organiser and promoter Debbie Smith at the Grand Palm Hotel in Gaborone.

She apologises before saying it is an important call from one of the sponsors and she had to answer it.

Throughout the interview we had to deal with such important calls.
