    Dullstroom Winter Festival

    The Dullstroom Winter Festival is moving to the second weekend of July and the event will be broken down into smaller style events that showcase all there is to see in the town.

    The programme has moved to small shows over the three days, with Stephane Maree playing a free show at Wild about Whiskey on Friday night as an early warm up and Coelacanth making a triumphant return at the new Coachman.

    Saturday will feature a lunch show with The Sextons at the Mayfly Restaurant, and then the biggest show of the weekend kicks off at 3pm at the Highland Gate Golf Club with Georgetown and blues legend Gerald Clark. The after party kicks off at the Poacher with Bright Lights Big City.

    Sunday lets you wind down with Michael Canfield at The Cherry Grove Piazza and leaves enough time to make it back home.

    Old-time hillbilly music

    Georgetown is a band that consists of a couple of friends from Pretoria who started out in the early months of 2014. They describe their music as old-time hillbilly music with instruments ranging from mandolin, ukulele, double bass, melodica, banjolin, saxophones, and clarinet - not to mention the 1950s percussion suitcase. They do historic folk and bluegrass songs, but also their own renditions of modern pop songs with their signature old-school Southern sound to really get that 'foot stompin' going.

    Gerald Clark is an accomplished South African musician recognised for his extraordinary ability to tell a story with his music. He is one of SA’s top musicians – a singer and songwriter famous for his voice. 'AfroBoer & the GoldenGoose', his fourth album recorded in an old farmhouse, is raw, it’s blues, it’s rock, it’s a piece of his honesty.
