Dave's in town- and better than ever


It's no secret how much we love Lonesome Dave Ferguson's sound, he's home for some gigs- fresh from international fame and hopefully a bit of fortune.

It's been a cruel year, invites to gigs at London pubs with cool names like- Filthy Macnasty's.

He's been home for November and we finally caught up with him at his old Friday haunt- the Granddaddy Hotel Rooftop Trailerpark-  it all seems to come together perfectly there, surrounded by the silver airstreams with the sun setting on Cape Town.

What we didn't expect was the new improved Lonesome Dave.... impossible you say and we thought, but here is a stronger, more confident, chatty, kick-ass Dave with some great new songs- what a treat!

I read that Counting Crows, offered him cash bucks to extend his set-  see what I mean?

Catch him while you still can,  he's playing at  The Table Mountain Blues Summit just after our legendary buddy Piet Botha and the Lyzyrd Kyngs and rumour has it he's playing new year's eve at the very fabulous Barrydale Hotel.

Piet's in town

Our old poker buddy and legendary musician Piet Botha graced central Cape Town with a rare performance at Mercury Live.

What a treat! The Lyzard Kings- Piet Botha, Rudolph Dennis, Arthur Dennis and Adrian John Graham played house band for the evening and were joined for some serious blues by John Frick from Holland, Doc John, Li-Anne Cummins and more.

With a CD about to launch Piet has promised a return visit to Mercury Live in April- will keep you posted, don't miss seeing these talented guys in action.

Li-Anne Cummins from Anne Jangle opened the evening- great voice!




great venue for live music
