Personally I have already booked tickets for Just Jinjer and am considering Prime Circle''s gig... I can also recommend Arno Carstens as fantastic live - I saw him at Kirstenbosch last summer.

 

The Jonny Cooper Orchestra is great for those who like Big Band nostalgia. I think I''ll take my mom to that one.
