GIG OF THE WEEK
VALENTINE’S DAY CONCERT
Overstone Cottages, Wartburg
(Tomorrow)
LOVE is in the air with celebrations for Valentine’s Day taking place tomorrow. So what better way to enjoy the occasion with your partner than by heading over to the beautiful lawns and manicured gardens of the Overstone Cottages farm (near Wartburg) for a concert?
The line-up includes Durban artist, Rowan Stuart (with Andy Turrell), Latin/African-flavoured band, Pan Latino, and acoustic artists Charles Webster and Kaiti Faul. Solo artist Stuart has opened for many acts including Water-shed, Dan Patlansky, Jeremy Loops, Matthew Mole and The Graeme Watkins Project. On his website, Stuart says stepping onto the stage is like coming home. The lights and the crowd are his sanctuary.
His music has been showcased on three previous albums and Hidden Doors (released May, 2014), is his most quintessential album yet. He has shared the stage with Louise Carver, Nibs van der Spuy, Gangs of Ballet and Just Jinjer. – Tonight Reporter
