Five of South Africa’s most popular musical acts will be performing at an exclusive concert at the beautiful Spier Wine Estate Amphitheatre on February 2 2019 from 6pm to 11pm.

The infectious Afro-fusion beats of Freshlyground will set the stage for an evening of unprecedented musical entertainment, including the poetic melodies of living legend Anton Goosen, an electric collaboration between the enigmatic Piet Botha and Akkedis who will perform as The Lyzyrd Kyngs, as well as the dulcet tones of the ever-inspiring Wendy Oldfield. Add the very talented, award-winning singer Lionel Bastos to this already impressive line-up of legendary gems in the South African music industry, and the evening is set to be a night to remember.

The fantastic new pop-talent Amy Jones also recently joined the stellar line-up. She will be performing her well-known radio tracks, including her popular number 1 hit and award winning single “You and Me.” Jones says: “My current radio success, still feels like a dream. I heard my song on radio the other day and I literally said out loud to myself “Amy that’s your song.” It`s humbling and really an incredible feeling. For my performance at the Patch concert fans can expect an acoustic vibe that’ll have them clapping hands and singing along and having fun.”
