KNYSNA NEWS - The very talented singer Cat Simoni, who left Durban ten years ago and recently returned from London to South Africa, will be enchanting her Knysna fans for a very good cause in two show this weekend, one at Simola on Saturday, October 10 at 18.30 (the price of tickets are R295); and another concert at Blu Restaurant in Brenton-on-Sea on Sunday, October 11 at 12.30 (R260).

Good news is there are still tickets available.

Simoni's life changed overnight when she decided to use her innate musical talent in London. With her beautiful singing voice she soon dazzled crowds at London's five-star venues such as The Ritz Dorchester, The Carlton and The Milestone hotels, singing Andrew Lloyd Webber's showstoppers, works by Cole Porter, George Gershwin and Jerome Kern, local hits of Johnny Clegg and Miriam Makeba and more.

Esmé Edge, deputy mayor of Knysna, managed to organise this treat for locals who will be treated to a lovely dinner or lunch and Simoni's musical presence when she will give two performances of the show, An Arm For Nadine ... From Cat With Love, at Simola Hotel and the Brenton Haven, both tomorrow.

These shows are also for a really special cause.

Proceeds will be in aid of Nadine Rodeom, Edge's daughter's prosthetic arm.

Rodeom lost her arm four months ago after a vicious attack by a family member's dogs during a visit to Pretoria. For those who think, Edge and her advocate partner Julie Seton, should be able to manage the medical costs, there have already been astronomical bills.

The initial prosthesis will cost over R100 000 and the ongoing expenses will run into hundreds of thousands of Rands which they will have to find.

Enjoy a special night out and help Nadine.

Both shows include three course meal and the golden voice of Simoni.

Tickets are available at Knysna Tourism Office, Main Street, Knysna or contact 082 893 4548.
