KNYSNA NEWS - A full month is on the cards at Blend Country Restaurant in March. With everything from classical and comedy to Afrikaans entertainment and a day of blues, there's something for everyone.
Presented by Better Live Events, the jam-packed month kicked off on Saturday 2 March with the internationally acclaimed Andrew Young, celebrated for his soulful and mesmerising saxophone melodies and captivating storytelling.
His new show, Timeless, featured a night filled with enchanting tunes that span jazz, blues and contemporary modern masterpieces.
On Saturday 9 March, Afrikaans comedian and local TV legend Casper de Vries brings you Semi-Lewendig - an adult-orientated Afrikaans show that brings a hilarity into storytelling in a way that only De Vries can get away with.
Changing gears, Sunday 17 March features a double-bill daytime show with two of South Africa's most exceptional blues guitarists: Dan Patlansky (who will be launching his new album Movin' on, and Basson Laubscher (featured in three previous Knysna Blues Festivals).
