I gave them a few years to prepare themselves and it looks like they put them to good use. The Robertson Wacky Wine Weekend was ready for me. What a fabulous weekend we had. I took Friday off work so that my right hand man, my left hand man and myself could get a head…

There is definitely an optimal modus operandi (latin for modus operandi) for attending expos and festivals such as this one. There are many schools of thought, but the man with experience will always know which way is the best way. For instance, some people say you shouldn’t go to a show on the last day as…

Traditionally, talking about the weather indicates that topics for conversation are running low. However, in Cape Town, the weather is a popular topic for locals and visitors alike. The reasons being its unpredictability and extremeness and the fact that it’s a major factor in the success or enjoyment of many events. Click here for gallery…

The sunset concerts in Kirstenbosch are definitely a highlight of the summer in Cape Town. Picnicing in such a stunning setting while enjoying a live concert is a hard to beat combination. However, the lineup at Kirstenbosch this season didn’t really tickle my fancy, I think I only went to 1 concert this time round.…

On Saturday afternoon I went out to The Farmhouse in Scarborough to listen to Verity perform. All indications were that it would be rained out but actually it turned out to be a pleasant afternoon apart from the slightly chilly breeze. The venue was covered by large gazebos, but I think it might usually be…

This year was my 7th consecutive J&B Metropolitan, and it was a great day, as usual. I have tackled the Met in many different ways over the years, from paying large amounts of money to have a table in a tent with food and drinks etc, to sneaking in through a hole in the fence…

Yesterday I went to the Festival at the Old Biscuit Mill in Woodstock which I told you about in the latest Newsletter. The Festival itself was a great success, it was very well attended and there was a great atmosphere. The live band (Bed on Bricks) added to the vibe. I’m not sure if the…

I was a very bad boy and forgot to mention an important event in my latest newsletter. Coda played a little sunset concert at Bascule Bar on Sunday. It was fabulous. Maybe I’m glad I didn’t mention it because there were very few seats. I don’t understand why Bascules (as the Londoners like to call…

I went to the Just Jinjer concert at Dunes yesterday. Like all the previous years, it was a fantastic experience. You can’t really go wrong, holding an open air concert in Hout Bay. Dunes is a good venue because there is a lot of open space outside and there are multiple levels so there are…

On Saturday night I attended the Electro Festival at Opium. The line-up was: Coda, Iridium Project, Flash Republic and Goldfish. You can’t really go wrong with a line-up like that. I have never seen Flash Republic live and hadn’t seen Iridium Project for a number of years either. All the acts were fantastic. An undeniable…
