Thank you for your support in 2012

Today sees our last newsletters for 2012, with the first of our new industry newsletters to be published on 15 January 2013, but we will keep on updating the new industry portals over the festive season.

We'd like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your continued support; our subscribers across all our portals continue to grow; in fact, in our new industries alone, we are now closing in on 70,000 subscribers, and for that we thank you.

We want to wish all of you a very enjoyable end-of-year break and - assuming the world doesn't end on Friday (You've heard about the predictions around the Mayan calendar, right?) - we wish you a highly successful 2013.

All the best from the Bizcommunity team!

Travel


Sail the heaven seas: fun for the young!
[Eugene Yiga] "As long as it's not one of those cruises for people over 60" was the first thing a friend of mine said when I mentioned my holiday plans. Like many people, he believes that cruises are for senior citizens who sail around the world doing aqua aerobics and playing bingo because there's nothing else to do between retirement and death. But four nights on the glorious MSC Sinfonia convinced me that cruises aren't just a slow break for the elderly; they offer plenty of fun for young people too! Read more >>

Music


Living the detour - Interview with Jet Black Camaro
[Ruth Cooper] You might have thought that that real rock 'n' roll, ballsy, intelligently conscious sound had died a sadly quiet death many years ago, perishing especially so from the hipster-centric generation and gentrification. However the bluesy, soulful rock of Jet Black Camaro might just change your mind. Read more >>

Theatre


Alan Committie: No, seriously?
[Eugene Yiga] After a year that involved defending the caveman and getting up to some funny business, comedian Alan Committie's new one-man show is now on at Cape Town's Theatre on the Bay. The two-hour performance features the return of his crazy characters, failed auditions from So You Think You Can Dance, and a Q&A session that puts his improvisation skills to the ultimate test.

Lacklustre celebration of familial flamenco heritage
[Debbie Hathway] At the southern tip of Africa, we are privileged to be exposed to some of the best artistic performances from around the globe. Spoilt for choice, maybe. Demanding, definitely. The more we get, the more we want. So when Juana Vargas, artistic director of Cape Town's Flamenco Del Sur, announces a collaborative performance with the long-established Linda Vargas Flamenco Company from Durban, it attracts high expectations from the local dance community.
