The 14th of February may be Valentines Day, but the 13th is the date that you’ll want to remember. That is, of course, if you and your partner are the lucky winners of this fantastic competition by D-seven and Cosmpolitan and Bilton Wine Estate, in associati0n with Boschendal and The Grand Daddy Hotel.
The winners of the competition, which is currently in it’s final phase of adjudication, by judges, will be driven by classic car to Bilton Wine Estate for wine tasting and romantic dinner for two on the evening of the 13th of February. And if you happen to live outside of Cape Town, you’ll be flown to the mother city courtesy of Bilton before hand. No romantic dinner is complete without a little music, and D-seven is on hand to wind up the romance an extra few notches, whilst doing their absolute best not to appear attractive to your date. Fine wine is courtesy of Bilton and bubbly by Boschendal.
After dinner, the lucky couple will be whisked away to their lodgings for the night, to the ultra-chic Airstream Trailer park on the roof of the award-winning Grand Daddy Hotel, where more Boschendal bubbly will be on hand. The following morning our couple is treated to a champagne breakfast (did anyone say Boschendal?) in Cape Town, and will be free to take in the sites and sounds of the Mother city before provided transport delivers them safely back home on Sunday evening.
If you’ve entered the competition, we reckon it’s time you started holding thumbs…
Just in case you missed the last news item about D-seven’s plans to rock people’s faces off at Up the Creek, here’s a little tid-bit.
Whilst the others are catching up with the times, the rest of you will be glad to know that D-seven will be streaming pictures live from the festival via our Twitter and Facebook feeds.
Remember to visit www.upthecreek.co.za ASAP to get hold of your tickets. Pull through any time during the weekend, we don’t mind, so long as you’re actually there.
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.
Tickets: Contact Kreame Lifestyle Industry on 021 423 8996
The 5th and 6th of February sees the boys of D-seven packing their suits for a road trip out of Cape Town, to the site of musical stirrings on the banks of the Breede River, outside the picturesque town of Swellendam.

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.
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
D-seven were invited to perform on the last day of school at Herschel Senior School. At 8:00am sharp, all 8 of us sleepily made our way into the High School Theater for what turned out to be one of the most fun gigs this year. We were met by a body of 450 screaming girls and boy did we have fun! We performed for little over an hour and dropped some of our most popular songs Black Eyed Peas – I Gotta Feeling, Seal’s – Kiss from a Rose, Goldfish Tribute Medley and ended off with Sex on Fire – Kings of Leon. They were such a fantastic audience, we even performed Hide n Seek completely un-miced. Thanks to Michelle, Tessa & Margi for making it possible, we truly had a blast, to all the Herschel Girls…. you guys ROCK!
D-seven were scheduled to play at this years Synergy Live Festival, at the Boschendal Wine Estate. We were set to open for some of South Africa’s Biggest Bands, The Rudementals, Prime Circle & Goldfish, however due to technical problems we were forced to pull out. We did perform at The Kennilworth Summer Party at the Kennilworth Racecourse on the Friday Night along side one of Cape Towns well known electric string fusion ensemble Coda.

This past weekend, we had the privilege of opening for Just Jinger at the Paul Cluver Amphitheater in Elgin. Probably one of the best places in the world to watch live music, the setting was perfect for what turned out to be an incredible night of semi-acoustic music. We were blessed with a packed amphitheater and performed for about 25minutes doing Sex on Fire, Black Eyed Peas, Snow Patrol, Goldfish and ending off with our newest piece What He Means by Just Jinger. It was slightly nerve-racking having Ard, Denim & Brent in the crowd listening to their own song. The EQ was perfect and Sean from MacAudio supported by Brain Quibbel did an amazing job. Ard called us up to sing with them during their performance of What He Means and it was a night we will remember for years and years to come. Thanks to the boys at Just Jinger, Charl, The Cluvers, Maritha, Brian and his team & everyone who came to watch us.
