A Tribute to the legendary Piet Botha featuring Akkedis (The Lyzyrd Kings) and Jake Gunn (Jackhammer) . "Well it’s friendship, but it’s more than that, you know, around 20 years. It’s a rock and roll thing. Just happened over the years and fate probably had a lot to do with it, so here we are. | think that Jack Hammer and the Akkedis Band are like connected somewhere out there because we don’t care for the plastic, we just get down and play. So what | am saying is we are all brothers and all we care for is the music." - Piet Botha Tickets R185pp (show only) Sun 18h00 for 18h30 (kitchen orders close at 18h30) *Live Music Starts AFTER Dinner Service is completed* Dinner, Dessert and Drinks available Fully Licensed, BYOB not permitted Any Food / Beverage Not permitted unless by prior arrangement Card / Cash (preferred) Payment 15% Service Fee Charged More on the Bands: Akkedis Band was formed in 1998 in Stellenbosch.
