Matthew Mole played to a sold-out crowd at Kirstenbosch Gardens on Sunday as part of their Kirstenbosch Summer Sunset Concerts series.
Ahead of the show Mole said: “It’s been massive to headline sold-out shows at Kirstenbosch over the past few years, and I can’t believe I get to play at this crazy-beautiful place again."
Over the past year, this multi-instrumentalist has played shows in the US, UK and Namibia but returned to Cape Town to record parts of his latest album "GHOST".
The album is an eclectic blend of folk, electronic undertones and positive vibes, and is currently climbing charts from the Mother City to Johannesburg.

“'GHOST' is only a few months old but fans have already embraced it in a way I couldn’t have imagined,” Mole has said.
There are plenty of more Sundays to enjoy the Kirstenbosch Summer Sunset Concerts Series with some top acts yet to come.
