Jack Parow & Van Coke Kartel at Kirstenbosch

Posted on: January 18, 2011

Sun 16 January 2011

On Sunday, my friends and I joined some 6000 other people for Jack Parow & Van Coke Kartel’s Summer Sunset concert at Kirstenbosch.

Jess made a great observation: the ticket said ‘Jack Parow with Francois van Coke acoustic’, so Mnr van Coke was there with his acoustic guitar, but so was the rest of Van Coke Kartel, along with some guest strings…then some Fokofpolisiekar guys came on and did a track or two, and later Die Heuwels Fantasties came out to do a track with Jack Parow – so we went to see 2 guys and all their friends ended up coming along, it was great!
