Child Welfare Charity Gig in the Gardens

Daniel And Michelle Nicholson organised a music event in aid of Child-welfare. This event took place on sat the 20 of March 2010. The sun set behind a cloud of smoke turning the whole world dark orange. This set the scene for some really good music. Various artists performed but the really notable performances were by Carl Brewery, Skadu van Sekerheid, Marilyn Horne& Auret van Heerden and Jan Hoogendyk. Sadly the event was not as well attended as was hoped but all present really enjoyed the evening.
