Daisies, not Dassies



So many festivals of late, you lucky fish!

rOctober opens with Rocking The Daisies - THE progressive* uBundu party. Last year’s gathering brought bands from all over SA; this year’s expand-a-band from 3rd - 5th of the month includes feel-good, soft rockers, Eagle Eye Cherry. (I'll bet an open blind they don't rock as hard as our Taxi boys.) Cloof Estate Wine Will blush and gush thousands of happy folk while band as diverse as Taxi Violence, Mama Know Nothing, Goldfish, 340ml and Fire Through The Window play to the open plains of the Kouebokkeveld. (yes, it is still cold, bring your fleece) . Comedians will make you laugh; musicians will make you dance, and if it’s the other way around, it must have something to do with beer breakfasts and champagne lunches!
