I got a call a couple of weeks ago from Greater Than PR in Cape Town wanting to know if I would come with them to Oppikoppi for one night. When I was told it was Jose Cuervo event, my reaction swung around confusedly. Hmm, once night, lots of tequila...
Well, the weekend I guess doesn’t officially start until 5pm today, but I am certainly in holiday mode! I am also very relieved I am going to Splashy Fen for the break and Not the Coke Zero Fest. In a sense I pity the organisers of this annual...
Yeah, that April cluster of public holidays and very little work is nearly upon us! as a music lover, there is a plethora of events to choose from as usual, and this year,i am plumping for splashy Fen. Mainly cos its their 20th anniversary and all that...
It’s Monday.. you’re hung over, tired and reluctantly back at work. What better way to lift your day than tell you what you can do in and around Gauteng this weekend in the way of live music? Hehehe! Here it is, a selection of odd-ball gigs...

Yeah and it is a four day week! And for a change, I am gonna hit Splashy Fen and stay there for as much of the weekend as I can! Splashy Fen is a great alternative for JHB jollers in the way of music festivals, and its a pity more of us Jozi types don...
Lately, going out to live shows, I have been overcome by a foreign and basically unwelcome urge: to put on a one day music festival. I say foreign because it is not something I have actually done before. Been involved sure, but never done my own. And...
So, September, the month of spring, is in its moer in... and yes, it has gotten warm and in JHB we have evn had some thunderstorms. Great! So, in that up-beat mood, here is a shamelessly self aggrandising selection of gigs to get to for the weekend.....

Friday night in the Big Naartjie is an intimidating array of options this week! But being experienced jollers all of you, I am sure you can make up your minds what you are into! And don't forget that, while I do put in all sorts of stuff here, I do not...
Love your music? You should be at this one, be you an artist, a music biz mensch or just a fan... its a great opportunity to learn more, meet more people and generally just get invovled.. Come along and check it out! Johannesburg: The third annual Moshito...
Something weird and wonderful is happening out there in the world of live music and indeed of recorded music. A quantum shift is occouring and critical mass seems to have ben achieved. Nearly every weekend, there are killer live shows to get to right...
As an ardent supporter of local culture and the right of music to exist in public spaces I found myself both angered and confused by certain happenings in JHB this weekend. It’s the annual Jazz on the Lake event, and by now you’d think I had gotten used...
So that mythical day on the calendar when it miraculously becomes warmer and more pleasant has come and it's bitterly cold... so much for that. Will the public swimming pools still open? Will the treees grow more leaves? Who knows? Who cares? The good...
