Busy, busy, busy this last weekend.
I got to play an amazing show at one of the most beautiful places in the country, NAY, the entire world!
Kirstenbosch Gardens

Kirstenbosch Gardens are Cape Town's botanical gardens, founded in 1913 in order to preserve the surroundings' indigenous and unique flora.
More than 100 years later, much has changed in this country, and yet the botanical gardens will - hopefully forever - remain a timeless place, capturing and reflecting much of the beauty this country has to offer.
For many years now, Kirstenbosch has hosted a series of summertime concerts to be held every Sunday. As the afternoon light fades and the air cools, the incredible backdrop of Table Mountain casts its glorious shadow and one can only be slightly awestruck by the surroundings. Nestled between trees and set before a sloping field of the greenest, softest grass, a stone stage has been erected in order to entertain the people. This show naturally attracts a large portion of tourists, and many of the people I spoke to after the show were from England, USA, Holland and other parts of Europe, where its super affordable to buy some ZAR and hop on a plane here.

Planning something like this is exhilarating fulfilling and exhausting at the same time. I have arranged and help arrange a few in Limpopo, what a brilliant experience.
Well done!
Nice Breezin! Limpopo, that’s fantastic!

The levitating vocalist thing is amazing! Got me laughing the Sunday away :)
Haha. Epic. Yeah man, its a tough gig to get on but totally worth the hustle
Heya
Ya man Kirstenbosch is one of those bucketlist spots. I haven't been in ages. The hot chocolate at the Tea Room is the best!
A couple of years ago my husband @moderndragon took me to see Katy Tunstall live for my birthday. It was lovely.
Was it your first time playing at Kirstenbosch?
Oh brilliant! Yeah it really is a magical place. I'v actually played there about 10 times with various different groups, and I love it each and every time :)
