Guitar gods and classical talents
This week we feature interviews with two musical greats; Eugene Yiga chats to Oliver Baines, founder of the British classical-pop group
Blake about their imminent SA tour, while I have a little cyber one-on-one with guitar legend
Dan Patlansky about his new album.
In other music news,
John Legend is confirmed to be touring SA in November this year, and the symphony-meet-circus extravaganza,
Cirque de la Symphonie, is set to enthrall at Cape Town's Grand Arena this weekend.
We have two new competitions for you this week; two tickets to
It Came From The Jungle's 8th Birthday Bash in Cape Town and
Park Acoustics in Pretoria are up for grabs!
