Kirstenbosch Summer Sunset Concerts

Summer Sunset Concerts


Greetings all.

Here is some rocking news for all of you music lovers out there.
Whenever summer hits in Cape Town music seems to take centre stage. One of the most popular summer music events in recent years, has been the Old Mutual Kirtsenbosch Summer Sunset Concerts.
No matter what your music tastes are, there will definitely be something for you to come and enjoy.
Just do yourself a favour, be like Jack: nimble and quick.

I went across to the SANBI website and scoped out the line-up which will be running all the way through to early February. Wow, I’m pretty sure the Summer Sunset Concerts never extended that long. But hey, I’m certainly not complaining.
Here is a link to the full listing of what to expect.

So which acts am I most looking forward to?
Well, here are my top choices of what is to come. Seriously all of our tastes are different, so best check the link.

The 27th of December is going to be a BIG ONE! Kirstenbosch will be rocked by not only Ashtray Electric, but also the Pretty Blue Guns.

Let’s scope out the most dangerous flying designs for The Wright Stuff.

First up is a design that I showcased yesterday, as one of my favourites to scoop top honours for this compo.
May-Day by OneAway shows old school Spitfire war planes being attacked by a rather large eagle.
Shooo, it’s definitely not what these fly-boys were trained to fend off. They teach you to shoot at Nazi’s and the Japanese….but nothing can prepare you for the aerial assault of a deadly giant eagle. Seriously, did Hitler have some kind of ‘mutated birdie’ program?
This design reminds me of the legendary Roc. Which was a bird so big, it could pick up and carry off, a full grown elephant with ease. Scary stuff!
