We’re thrilled to kick off our Jazz Weekends in the Country with two of our favourite colleagues, and we’re excited to bring our music back to South Africa after seven great years in Prague.

Prof Marc Duby remains one of our absolute favourite upright bass players. He has been a constant throughout Barbora’s career, he introduced  us to each other in 2011, and has featured on three of our albums.

Godfrey Mgcina is one of SA’s foremost drummers, a great human being, and featured on our most recent album As Long As You’re Living.

We will be inviting some of South Africa’s jazz greats to join us for future concerts and collaborations as we establish our jazz weekends and we look forward to winter afternoon concerts by the riverside.

We’ve had great success with our various projects throughout Europe and look forward to sharing it all with friends old and new and also to socialising over dinner and libations after the show, as we are wont to do.

We have six beautiful chalets for those who want to overnight. Each chalet sleeps two and has a queen-sized bed with all the usual amenities. Chalet 3 sleeps three. We also have a network of guest houses in the area should we be fully booked.

Our jazz evenings include a buffet dinner comprising salads and mains for carnivores and vegetarians and we have a variety of liquid refreshments on offer.

We recommend a Saturday early afternoon arrival, enjoy our beautiful garden, the labyrinth, the riverside bar, perhaps a hike, and the fantastic birdlife. The concert kicks off at 18h00, dinner is at 20h00.

Should you have an interest in our tours – the Stone Circle Museum, the stone circle ruins, and Adam’s Calendar – we recommend a Friday arrival and a tour after breakfast on Saturday. Alternatively, tours can be booked for Sunday after breakfast.
