Elgin is a place of beauty, tranquility, and peace.
At least it will be, until D-seven and Watershed rock up.
The Paul Cluver Wine Estate boasts one of the most beautiful stages in South Africa, the Paul Cluver Amphitheatre.
Needless to say, it hardly needs improving, but that won’t stop D-seven and Watershed from ratcheting the appeal of this picturesque place up a few notches from 6:30pm on Saturday the 30th of January. D-seven will be on stage between 6:30pm and 7pm, and Watershed will be on stage from 7pm onward.
Breathe some fresh air, drink some mature wine, open your heart to great music, and get those natural endorphins going.
Ladies (and we do mean the kind of women who wears a hat on a special occasion) and Gents, the news has been buzzing for some time now.
You’ve felt the excitement, the anticipation, that rising feeling that something truly vibing is happening in Cape Town this weekend.
You know it, we know it, let’s do it.
The annual J&B Met is upon us. And let’s be honest, horses are magnificent creatures, but they make for terrible conversation.
Which is why you should join the D-seven boys in the J&B Jet Lounge this Saturday the 30th of January between 1pm and 2pm, and let them be your sound track to a day of high stakes, high fashion, and high revelry. Check out a brochure for it here.
If that whets your appetite for something a little more upmarket, you can catch D-seven at the Equus Lounge from 2pm to 3pm, but you better take your piggy bank along with you, tickets for the Equus Lounge are R3 000 (hint: it’s worth it).
Be there: J&B Jet Lounge, Kennilworth Race Course, Cape Town.
Dress: This is one day that you’re not too sexy for your hat.

We’ll can’t promise that Dylan won’t arrive au naturelle.
Be there early to sample great wine, and get a fine seat.
Join D-seven and the glamour elite at the J&B Jet Lounge from 1pm to 2pm , and then from 2pm to 3pm at the Equus Lounge on Saturday the 30th of January.
Combining high-fashion, fitted suits, sparkling wine and the usual dose of charisma and creativity, all bets are off for this one.
Be there, or get left out of conversation for the next three weeks.

Catch D-seven at the Cape’s premier summer music festival, Up The Creek.
Up The Creek 2010 promises to be four days of riverside revelry, the likes of which your body will remind you of for a full 364 days.
D-seven will be serenading the crowds in between frenetic sets on the Main Stage and Die Burger Bar Stage on Friday night, and on Die Burger River Stage and Die Burger Bar Stage on Saturday night.
The festival features the cream of the South African live music scene, including Akkedis, Dan Patlansky, Bed On Bricks, Corne & Twakkie, The Dirty Skirts, Taxi Violence, The Rudimentals and the Van Coke Cartel.
And, of course, your boys from D-seven.
D-seven will be spreading some romantic cheer at what is sure to be a memorable wedding, set in the unusual and beautiful Rock Haven in Elgin, just outside of Cape Town.
You know how it goes, every boy wants to be them, every girl wants to be with them.
Well on the 2nd of February at 10am, the guys and girls of Camps Bay High School will get their chance as D-seven rock out the old-school, at school.
Regrettably, this is a private concert for the school only. Kind of makes you wish you were back there, right?
You have heard the good news before. It went something like this: The good folks at The Grand Daddy Hotel on Long know that nothing goes together like sunset, trailer parks, sundowners and serenade. They’ve teamed up with Cape Town’s foremost male a’capella musical act, D-seven, to bring you a concert in the park-the air-stream motel trailer park.
Well, the ball keeps on rolling. Wednesday-evening D-seven sundowner concerts on the rooftop of the grand Daddy Hotel have become something of an institution in recent times. Last week Seth Rotherham – editor of 2oceansvibe.com, gentleman extraordinaire and purveyor of all things cool – made himself comfortable amongst the airstream trailers and left D-seven to the limelight for a moment.
So if you catch yourself on a Wednesday evening thinking “Where can I go for fine company, a drink and top live music, for free?” stop what you’re doing, and make a beeline for the Grand Daddy Hotel on Long Street.
Located on the roof of the self-same Grand Daddy Hotel in Long Street, and within elevator’s reach of the Daddy Cool Bar, and in partnership with Boschendal Wine Estate, the occasion promises to be yet another memorable Boschendal Moment. Entrance is mahala, pasella, verneit, gratis, so swing by for sparkling music, Boschendal Méthode Cap Classic sparkling wine, and beautiful people.

Will busting the Kilt
Will busting the KiltOn the Saturday the 19th of December, D-seven performed on one of South Africa’s most prestigious and incredible stages, being guest artists at the annual Christmas Carols at Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens in Cape Town. The weather played its part, and we were graced by a capacity crowd of 5500 people, picnicking on the lawns waiting for the carols to start. It was a fantastic event arranged by the Rotary Club of Cape Town and sponsored by Pick n Pay. Thanks to all who came, and supported D-seven and especially to the many photographers who took some amazing shots of us. Take a look at more of the pics by clicking here
