    I heard that Goldfish was performing at Spier this weekend, supported by JacSharp. I felt I should be there, for several reasons:I haven’t been to the Spier Amphitheatre for several years, I haven’t seen Goldfish in action for a while and I wanted to see JacSharp again after enjoying them so much at the Chevelle…

    Last weekend I attended the launch of Chevelle, a new night club which has opened in Harrington Street. I must say I had quite a good party, I haven’t been out clubbing till the early hours of the morning since my birthday at Karma. It has been open for a while but they were still working…

    Last weekend instead of going to a Kirstenbosch concert, I decided to support charity and went to the Concert for a Cause at The Range in Tokai instead. I  missed this concert last year and heard it was great so I wasn’t going to miss it again. The line up was Little Kings, The Rudimentals,…

    Coda launched their second album last week at the Cape Quarter. The event was most impressive, a very professional production and a showcase of the amazing talent we have here in Cape Town. I wished that I could have invited friends from around the world to see what we have to offer. Coda’s first album,…

    I’m not entirely sure which category this post should fall under. I eventually decided to put it under General because it just doesn’t belong anywhere else. I have only posted once before on cooking courses (here) and that was a while ago. Interestingly, that has been one of the most hit posts on Relax with Dax and the…

    After threatening to go on a cooking course about a year and a half ago, I only recently got my A into G and attended one. I selected Sense of Taste because I attended a promotional event there (as I did at the Giggling Gourmet cooking school previously). I was impressed with the congeniality of…

    Last night I attended a panel discussion sponsored by Africa Geographic and Nedbank Green Affinity. The topic was Eating the Environment – what our food choices are doing to the environment. The panelists were Johan Ferreira, head of food technology at Woolworths; Aaniyah Omardien, manager of the WWF Living Waters Marine Programme and Mark Botha, conservation…

    This is my second year at the Natural and Organic Expo, you can find the review for last year here. As I predicted, the expo has grown and improved. I really enjoyed my visit and was pleased to see how well attended it was. Last year I made a comment that there was a large…

    This year is my second at Pinotage on Tap at the Diemersfontein estate. Once again it was a most enjoyable afternoon. Good food, good wine and surrounded by good friends in a beautiful setting is a quality way to spend a day. It had been threatening rain all week. I don’t think anyone knew until that day…

    Coming up on the 3rd to 5th of October is Rocking the Daisies, one of SA’s top music festivals. What makes it special, apart from the top lineup of bands? Well, it happens on a wine farm for one and it’s also a ‘green event’, as they state on their website: We see great importance…
