I'm two weeks away from a concert with an exciting trio: Keith Tabisher (guitar), Tino Europa (bass) and Roy Davids (drums). It's on Sunday afternoon, 11 August, from 3pm to about 5:30pm, so you can still enjoy your evening, doing whatever you normally do to wind down your weekend.
The venue is Stephanian's Sports Clubhouse, in Tristania Road, Ottery, in Cape Town. How do you get there? Get to Ottery Road, about 1km from the Hypermarket, turn into De Wet Road, then right into Chris Barrie Road. At the end of that road, turn left into Tristania Road and immediately right into the sportsfield, where the venue is.
Tickets, at R100 each, may be bought directly from me. Contact me via this blog, my Facebook page or my e-mail: guitartrudy@gmail.com to book your single, double or table of six. Yes, this is a concert with a difference - guests will be seated at tables, and are welcome to bring their own refreshments.
This concert performs a dual role: providing a relaxing Sunday afternoon of live jazz, and raising money to help my daughter realise a dream - to travel to Thailand with her school in June 2014. It's a wonderful adventure and humanitarian trip, organised by World Challenge, a UK-based company with many years of experience. They take children from all over the world to different countries, take them on a 3-day mountain hike, involve them in a local community project and expose them to a way of living which encourages independence, group work and leadership, away from the comfort of their homes and families. The children, all in Grade 10, shop for ingredients at local markets and cook their own meals. They take turns being group leaders. From the moment my daughter heard the presentation, she set her heart on going, and I promised her that, together, we, as a family, would make it happen.
And so it starts. We have nine months in which to raise the rest of the money, and the trip happens in 11 months' time. There's so much to be done, lots of equipment to be bought and fitness to be increased, but we've paid the deposit and we're committed.
We are making this happen.
