Hello friends of the Cape Farmhouse,
The last concert for the season, featuring Little Kings, Rudimentals and Fox Commet will be cancelled.
The council approved our application for our land use departure with certain restrictions. This licence has been granted, but is suspended until such time as the appeals have been dealt with.

Our restaurant will be closed on the 1^st May 2012. Thank you for all the support over the years.

All is not lost, just temporarily halted.

Please feel free to contact me for any bookings for private events, weddings etc.

All the best for the year and we will see you when we see you.

Hot Water

Hot Water’s live performance is a dynamic and often spontaneous tapestry of inspired songs from one of their two albums and their upcoming third album. Donovan compares the band to a wheel, seeing himself as the hub in the centre while the band and collaborators hold and help the whole wheel spin

Season coming to an end…

Well, that was one hell of a ride. If i think back on the season, I think dirty neighbours and some fantastic rock n roll with a wedding here and there.

Despite “the neighbours” very best attempt to shutting down the Cape Farmhouse Restaurant, Red Rock Tribal and the Zimbabwean Sculptures oh and Sunscene, they have failed and we won the departure. There are many restrictions for the restaurant which need to be appealed and we need to win in order to re-open next season. It is unfortunate that the savings we normally use to get us through the winter has been used up by our many many lawyers and it is with a heavy heart that we have to close our doors for the winter say goodbye to our staff who have been with us since our inception.

I will still be behind this email info@capefarmhouse.co.za. All weddings and events previously booked with us will still be happening from now until next year and I really hope that by September/ October this year our doors willl once again open the wedding bells with ring and the rock n roll will rock!

To all of our supporters, friends and co-workers. The support through this time has been more than amazing and we will do our level best to ensure that we continue for many years to come because what’s a Saturday without a bit of Frans’ Beer and come local lekker tunes my bru…

Jack Mantis

sarah — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 13:15:21 +0000

This is a five-piece in the rising… Jack and bassist Jimi Curve have long been in each other’s lives, performing in various projects in and around Cape Town. With the inclusion of saxophinist George Sax, pianist Dom Benigno and drummer Jon Case the five piece is complete. Jack’s masterful, ‘Adam Duritz‘ way with lyrics, his booming voice and love of guitar suggest that the band is all acoustic with backup from the drums and bass. However, the acoustic element is a mere base for the band to explore greater genres sub-cultures and influences.

Jamapara and the Batalion

sarah — Sat, 07 Jan 2012 13:30:34 +0000

Jampara has combined his love for reggae music with his Burundi roots, which makes this not only a music performance but a unique experience because of the Burundi drummers. This experience established the Batalion as a good, international roots Reggae band which earned them recognition and respect. http://www.myspace.com/jamparamusic

Hog Hoggidy Hog and the Rudimentals

sarah — Sat, 17 Dec 2011 13:30:13 +0000

The name Hog Hoggidy Hog has been etched deep into the mosh-wounds of the South African scene. It’s been over a decade of action-packed, music, mishchef and mayhem since the young hoglets first blessed the decaying stage of the Purple Turtle with their debut performance. Now all these years, a few well received releases and with a good number of nationwide as well as European tours under their belt, having shared the stage with the top acts in the world of their genre such as Nofx, Mad Caddies and Lagwagon, nothing much has really changed. They may be somewhat more professional, a bit more well known and sound a lot tighter but it’s sometimes still a struggle to keep singer, George Bacon’s clothes on.

The Rudimentals are an eight-piece ska/reggae band from Cape Town, South Africa. The band’s releases include two CDs, More Fire and Set It Proper, and a live DVD/CD combo of the 2007 Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens Concert. The band is signed to the United Kingdom based Moon Ska World distribution label. The group is one of a handful of Cape Town reggae-influenced bands, and has been described as a South African institution in tourist guides and on websites.

Boulevard Blues

The Boulevard Blues band has been rocking music lovers at venues, events and festivals in South Africa for over a decade, liberating their fans with nourishing soulful Blues and Rock. The band sets high standards in both music genres with their pure quality music that’s easy to listen to, and offering an unprecedented and entertaining live performance

D-seven

sarah — Sat, 26 Nov 2011 13:30:04 +0000

D-seven are an all-male a’capella vocal performance group from Cape Town.Performing on some of the world’s largest platforms with top national artists, D-seven have established themselves as a premier entertainment act with a high level of media currency. A’Capella (voice only) music has, for an exceptionally long period, suffered under the impression that it was a music genre lacking sex appeal, audience-accessibility and commercial viability BUT NO LONGER.
