Winter got stuck in Cape Town and they had snow on Table Mountain in case you missed it on social media. But in the Lowveld the sun continued its promise of summer and she shined brightly over the last winter weekend. Blue Moon's family picnic on Spring day was opened by one of the brightest days we had in a very long time. All the fears of a cold front disappeared the minute we opened our bedroom curtains.

I knew that the show would be a success because between getting ready for a wedding, attending the wedding and trying to sleep off a slight hangover on Sunday morning my phone did not stop ringing. I changed my What’s Up message tone because that’s how many times my phone went off as well. Rocking up at Blue Moon with my own personal body guard simply named Puppy I was immediately placed behind the bar, my old spot. With a proper wine, Okibwa, sponsoring the day I got a new shirt. I must say the wine is not a Nederburg or Fleur de Cap but does the job and I'm sure they received a lot more fans.

A beautiful day at Blue Moon

Living in the Lowveld has it benefits, and one of them being our amazing weather. Winter 2013 was a pansy in comparison to last year‘s snowy, windy winter. Blue Moon has announced that they will be hosting a Spring day family picnic, but get this: it’s at Blue Moon this time and in celebration of Spring 2013!

Award ceremonies are a very important part in any industry. Receiving a nomination for an award let alone winning one shows you that your hard work really pays off. Most people I've spoken to in the last few weeks about the MK Awards didn't even know there was an MK award ceremony.

Here’s a little history for you:

• The MK Awards have been running for the last 7 years (since 2006)
• MK stands for Musiek Kanaal (music channel) which is dedicated to South African music
• MK is a channel on DStv (SA’s ‘cable tv’)
• MK has grown over the years as a house hold name among fans and bands across the country and has many involvements in festivals and music events
• The MK Awards have grown from strength to strength since their inception and have become an important role player in the South African Music Industry

Mission To The Sun

By Marley

It was a mission to the sun...where the sun sets late during the summer.

Planning a trip is always exciting and nerve racking at times. Planning to go to Up The Creek aka UTC takes a few months planning. It starts with dates of the festival then the plane tickets and then how you get there to UTC and back.
