This one caught us by surprise and no this is not about photography but rather something we experienced while doing photography. We needed some pix of the Drakensberg Boys’ Choir in the Champagne Valley for a book that we are photographing. We set up everything with the school and headed up there yesterday afternoon. Because we were doing pix we were allowed in during the “warm up” before the concert and were really impressed with the staff and boys and their preparations for the event. And then the visitors arrived – masses of them which we didn’t think was too bad for a Wednesday afternoon. We had intended to just do a few pix and then head home to try to meet deadlines etc. but we sat through the whole delightful performance. The music varied from classical to pop to African with much dancing and stomping of feet.
So, head up there and enjoy yourself. Lots of great restaurants, art galleries and music. And here’s the great bit of news: The Music in the Mountains festival starts on 23rd April (yes, that’s tomorrow) and goes on until the 26th. Well worth it methinks!
