 8 July: OPEN TUESDAY. Once again die Boer will be showcasing some very accomplished musicians on our Open evening. The well known jazz pianist ROYSTON STOFFELS will perform at die Boer in a jazz trio of top musicians. With him is the renowned bass guitarist Paul Savage and on drums will be Adrian Becker. The music can be described as an original “smorgasbord” of jazzy/rocky/folksy/Capey sounds that is unmistakebly South African. Entrance are free. Have a bite to eat if you so wish, otherwise relax with a glass of red wine and listen to some of the best jazz in Cape Town.
 Also performing on OPEN TUESDAY will be superb Cape Town singer-songwriter TAMARIN SEED. Tamarin's music is very truthful and tangible. She writes beautiful, catchy melodies that will replay in your head again and again. One of Tamarin’s songs, "Sweet Thing" was aired on the programme "Going Nowhere Slowly". The song "Beside Me' was play-listed on 5fm Radio. "Head up" and "Circle of Love" were play - listed on CCFm Radio. Her influences include Dave Matthews, John Mayer and Sting. Her voice is a cocktail of Alanis Morrisette, Karen Carpenter, Tracy Chapman, Carol King, Dido, Edie Brickel and a hint of Tasmin Archer. Tamarin Seed has received great interest in her music from international record companies and international artists like Chad Kroeger and Nickelback.
 9 Julie: Appassionata R70 In 1982 besluit befaamde satirikus en verhoogkunstenaar, Pieter-Dirk Uys om vir sy ewe beroemde suster, die pianis Tessa Uys, 'n teaterstuk te skryf wat haar virtuositeit as pianis ten toon sal stel. Appassionata is hieruit gebore - 'n unieke teaterervaring wat 'n uitvoering van Beethoven se Sonate no. 23, die 'Appassionata' kombineer met 'n dramatiese uitbeelding van die wel en weë van 'n kunstenaarsiel. Nie alleen is hierdie stuk slegs eenmalig in 1982 opgevoer met Tessa Uys in die hoofrol nie, maar dit stel ook besondere hoë eise aan enige teaterkunstenaar. Die uitdagings is voor die hand liggend: om 'n pianis te kry wat die durf het om enige Beethoven Sonate, en dan boonop die 'Appassionata' aan te pak, is geen maklike taak nie. Om boonop een te vind wat toneel kan speel en 'n skoonheid is, bring 'n hele legio ander uitdagings na vore. Tertia Downie word geroem vir haar passievolle musikaliteit en haar blonde aantrekkingskrag. Sy het klavier gestudeer onder die deurwinterde klavierpedagoog, John Antoniadis sowel as die groot Griekse leermeester, Martino Tirimo. Die Fleur du Cap-wenner, Johann Nel is geliefd as radio- en verhoogakteur en het al jare Suid-Afrikaanse gehore in die palm van sy hand en saam bring hierdie twee vertolkers 'n magiese tragedie en romantiek na hierdie uitdagende teaterteks. Appassionata is 'n romantiese en dikwels tragiese blik op die faam, fortuin, hartseer, glorie en uiteindelik vergangklikheid van die kunstenaar se publieke en persoonlike lewe.
 10, 11 Julie... die DAN PATLANSKY TRIO. R70 Op 25-jarige ouderdom het Blues kitaarmeester Dan Patlansky reeds bereik wat meeste ander (goeie) spelers nie in ’n leeftyd sal bemeester nie. …... In sy hande word die kitaar ‘n lewende organisme wat saggies kan huil van weemoed, uitbundig kan lag van blydskap en grommend kan uitbars van woede. Blues kenners beskou hierdie man as “een van die vurigste en heel beste spelers in die wereld” en as jy hom nog nie gesien het nie.. moenie hierdie geleentheid mis nie, want talent soos hierdie gaan ongelukkig dikwels vir ons land verlore. Kaartjies nog net beskikbaar op 10 Julie
12 July.. HEATHER MAC & The Brills. R70 Fans of the “Eighties” will remember HEATHER MAC as the  front-lady for sensational South African rock group ELLA MENTAL. She has since teamed up with four other brilliant solo artists in their own right to form a band called THE BRILLS. Imagine a band of four singer-songwriters, each with their own discernable songs and sound, four different voices, each with the ability to touch your heart and soul. The Brills is made up of Heather Mac, (vox, guitar) who in the early nineties performed in many prestigious shows overseas, including the Montreux Jazz Festival. Since returning to SA she has performed in a number of productions with Jazzart and created music/theatre  shows that have toured the country. Ian Cohen (vox, bass) was the bass player with internationally recognized SA band, Bright Blue. Their 90’s hit ‘Weeping’ has just been covered by Josh Groban. He brings his own brand of vocals and acoustic bass playing to the mix. Tonia Selley’s (vox, perc, guitar) previous band ‘The Pressure Cookies’ had great radio play with their hit ‘Don’t call me Baby’ and she is an accomplished percussion player and vocalist. She is also Nataniel’s percussionist. and backing vocalist whenever he is performing. Mark Harris has accompanied Heather Mac in solo performances for the last ten years. He has played a key role in many top bands and has a great following whenever he plays his Tom Waits tribute show. DON’T MISS!
