Could you please let me know when the full program for Kirstenbosch concerts is out. Also anything else of interest on in Cape Town from about 10th to 28th Feb 2010.
Thank you,

Hi Keith,
Thanks for your message. Will definitely let you know when the Kirstenbosch concert line-up is announced. Keep an eye on the site for recommended concerts and events. I’ll keep posting them.
Best regards,
Adrian
JUST discovered your website by accident – awesome site. Is there any way I can register and receive regular updates? Perhaps on Facebook?
Hi Allen,
Thanks for your message. I am working on something where I can send out regular updates for what’s on the site. I will keep your email address and let you know when that’s up and running.
Thanks again and have an awesome day.
Cheers,
Adrian
Why are the Parlotones not playing next year??
Hi Abdul,
I was thinking the same thing. Last year their concert was the fastest selling one of the season. I’m sure a lot of fans were looking forward to seeing them again at Kirstenbosch.
Cheers,
Adrian
Please can anyone tell me whether the Jonny Cooper Orchestra will be in the Cape between December 18 this year and January 8th next year – if not is there a similar style band or orchestra that will be performing down there. Thanks in advance!
If anyone has any info for Graham, please feel free to post a comment. The Jonny Cooper Orchestra is always a hit at Kirstenbosch – hopefully they’ll be playing again at Kirstenbosch this summer.
