On the 25th April this year on the Friday SA Music Spotlight I posted a piece on Verity. She is funding her cd release by involving those who pre-purchase her yet to be released album in the creation of it.
Since then she has reached the all-important 2000 pre-sales mark. This means she can fund the printing and posting of the album for those who have bought into the project.
As things have turned out, her concert this Sunday at the Silvertree Restaurant in Kirstenbosch will become a celebratory event.

With Nelson Malela on keyboards, Helder Gonzaga on bass and Frank Paco on drums she assures us it will be "high energy music filled evening" showcasing all the songs off the album!

If you would like to be there, please call 021 762 9585 asap to book a table. Tickets cost R100 & include a welcome drink & soup.

Last Sunday the family went to watch the South African music institution, Watershed at Cape Town's Kirstenbosch Summer Concert Series.

This is not a review, but it should be said, as always Kirstenbosch is a great venue and Watershed have yet to disappoint the many times we have seen them live.

I came across this live version of Indigo Girl, their mega-hit on YouTube. Their live version differs from year to year and understandably is very different to the original album track released seven years ago now.

Those of you in Cape Town, diarise 10 February when another of SA's mega-groups The Parlatones are due for the performance in the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens.
