Details
Together for the first time, 3 lauded singer-songwriters on stage together, playing in turn, and talking about their music. The show will be held in one of Johannesburg's classic venues, the Troyeville Hotel. The Hotel has been around for over 70 years and serves some of the best Portuguese/Mozambican food you'll find anywhere in Joburg. Come for the music and the food. NB - because this is an acoustic performance by singer-songwriters we request that the audience respect both the performers and those that have come to listen and remain as quiet as possible during performance though raucous cheers and applause between songs is encouraged.
