They’re followed by one of the country’s most successful rock bands, Prime Circle who has recently just released their third, and undoubtedly best record, nominated for a SAMA award. They’re always a revelation live and all you need for a power-packed evening. On the 19th, three more top acts set the enchantment alight. First up is Steve Newman, an accomplished acoustic guitarist who has traveled and traversed the length and breadth of SA playing his magic and gathering a formidable following of loyal fans.

He’s followed by Julia Jakobsen, who’s music is a blend of traditional folk and quirky indie pop, with rock occasionally seeping in. She writes from the heart and lays her soul bare – come and be moved!! Ending the night and Levi's® Vintage Sunday’s in Cape Town is Andy Lund.
