The October Matt Black Sessions takes place during the HELDERBERG FESTIVAL. Visit Bilton on 23 & 24 October for Chocolate & Wine tastings, lifestyle market, tractor rides, art exhibitions, food and much more.

Hierdie toer, wat die land gaan deurkruis, behels dat hulle op alle vorme van vervoer, behalwe hulle persoonlike voertuie, moet vertrou.

Sover sluit dit ‘n donkiekar, trein, jet en seiljag in. Hulle gaan onder andere by Aardklop ‘n draai maak, asook Upington, Langebaan en Witsand.

Avontoer is net 4 maande weg, so die Seerowerkaptein het besluit om solank ‘n klomp plakkers te pos vir wie ook al, waar ook al.

Laasjaar was daar so baie Avontoerplakkers na geesdriftiges toe gepos dat die Suid-Afrikaanse posdiens ons aangekla het van sabotsie. Die hofsaak is nog hangende. ‘n Avontoerplakker het selfs op die maag van ‘n witdoodhaai in die Kaapse akwarium beland. Niemand kon so ver bevestig hoe die haai ‘n Avontoer-aanhanger geword het nie.

So stuur jou naam en e-posadres na posmeester Chani Coetzee toe by chanicoetzee@yahoo.com en versprei solank die woord van die seerowers wat kom.

Ter viering van Bilton se “Matt Black” Bordeaux-versnit, ‘n splinternuwe reeks musiek-en-kuieraande! Maandelikse sessions bied vir Stellenbossers en die Helderbergstreek ‘n splinternuwe musiekervaring, weg van die gewone cliché-vertonings wat die kalender volpak. Elke Matt Black Session is uniek, interaktief en outentiek. Spotgoedkoop en met uitstekende plaaslike kunstenaars, kunsuitstallings, temas vir aantrek, lekker kosse, wynproe, koffie en veel meer, is hierdie een partytjie in ‘n maand wat jy nie kan misloop nie!

Die heel eerste Matt Black Sessions was ‘n groot sukses met ‘n rits musikante, solo of saam-saam, uit die geledere van New Holland, Zinkplaat, Peter Mitchell, Ryno Velvet, Basson Laubscher & The Violent Free Peace, Johannine & The Rivers, Simon Swerwer, Willim Welsyn, President Sally, Joelevite en selfs nog ‘n paar wat hulde aan Bob bring.

Hul opdrag: speel enige liedjies van enige Bob (Marley, Dylan, Seger, Johnson, Geldoff, noem maar op). Die gehoor moes aantrek as hul gunsteling Bob (bv. Bob Mugabe, Bob the Builder, ens.). Daar was ook ‘n uitstalling van kunswerke, plakkate en dies meer in dieselfde tema.

Come join us at The Station Pub, Main Rd, Franschhoek for an afterparty or two.
