Amazing food, prepared by a friend whose a Chef! salmon, carpaccio, etc and lay about in the winter sun till it went over Table Mountain. Kirstenbosch is such a beautiful place, we dont utilize it enough. Took some great pics.

Saturday night we went to Hout Bay to Nicki's farewell, she's off to South Amercia for 2 months. lucky bugger. and yesterday i was in the Recording Studio for the whole day with my violinist, Carly, laying down some tracks. After which we then went to the Melting Pot in Muizenberg and jammed all afternoon. some really wonderful musicians. After which i went home to the best supper ever, braaied snoek with lemon, garlic, butter and coriander, fresh asparagus and brucetta with camembert, heaven!

Joshua Grierson

Joshua Grierson is the bees knees. A wild old soul from a time before. He’s a master singer/ songwriter and balladeer. He could easily share the stage with the greats, Crosby Stills Nash and Young. David Grey should open for him. He opens your heart and commands your attention and before you know it you’re encaptured. He reels you in spinning tales of magick and revolution. He makes you believe. He echoes sounds of love, loss rock and roll, great open plains, and the South. Joshua Grierson is too young to be this good. You better believe it. this my album of the year. You can listen to him here.

Hello World!

So i took Friday off with the persuasion of my friend Terence and we escaped the Cape Town rain to the Warmwaterberge Hot Springs with my camera in tow. it was divine. i met new people and let the healing powers of the hot springs restore my mind and body. Thank you Terence.

Mid Winter & the World Cup is finished!

It's the coldest day of the year so far, 8 degrees, and Spain won the World Cup! I can't believe it's over. i hope our visitors had a good time and that the spin off will be amazing for our country. We deserve it.

This weekend i: spent some time in Hout Bay, watching the rain and eating good food and babysitting 4 jack russels, 1 baby beagle and 1 'African Special' - 6 dogs is definately too many.

LAst weekend i did the fan walk and took a day to recover.

Tonight: i am playing at the Barleycorn, and at Alma Cafe on Wednesday.
