Haar stem en melodieë is meesleurend. Sedert haar eerste amptelike opname en vrystelling in 1999 het Luna 6 albums agter haar naam. Sy het die laaste paar jaar gefokus op die ontwikkeling van ‘n verskeidenheid musiekteaterproduksies. Onder andere, Smeltkroes, wat te sien was as deel van die Tuin van Digters program in Wellington verlede jaar.
Om 1pm kan kuns- en musiekliefhebbers voor die verhoog inskuif vir ‘n lieflike solo-konsert waarin Luna van haar ou gunstelinge sowel as nuwe musiek wat spruit uit die inperking sal opvoer. Bespreek kaartjies teen R150 by Jeannine +27 (0) 61 156 5386.

NERO rises – Bosman launches South Africa’s first Nero d’Avola !
From Italian heritage to African soil – a resilient vine and a ground-breaking wine Bosman Family Vineyards, together with South African actor / filmmaker Thapelo Mokoena of Bakoena Brands, has just released ‘Nero’ onto the UK market – a pioneering new wine brand and the first and only South African wine to be made from the Sicilian variety Nero d’Avola.
The progressive brand, which champions diversity, resilience and South African heritage has arrived on shelf at Sainsbury’s. NERO was born from Bosman’s mission to find a resilient vine to thrive in the Cape Winelands’ increasingly hot, water-scarce climate, as a result of rising global temperatures.
