Ike is terug Engeland toe, waar hy sy woonstel, motor en ander besittings verkoop het, en op 1 Mei was hy terug in sy geboorteland met net twee tasse.  Sy nuwe CD Play me, is onlangs in Kaapstad bekend gestel en tot die einde van die jaar wil hy op Kaapse gehore fokus. "Vroeg volgende jaar sal ek ook 'n CD-bekendstelling in Johannesburg doen, maar vir nou geniet die Moederstad en sy mense voorkeur." Ike sê hy wil ook volgende jaar die pad vat en al die musiekfeeste bywoon.  Die musikant is geen onbekende in die internasionale musiekarena nie. Vorige enkelsnitte wat wêreld ...
