Long Time Citizen's After-Work Build-Up


05 August at 18:00 at The Daddy Long Legs Bar Cape Town, South Africa

In Conjunction with Sailor Jerry and Macbeth Footwear. The Daddy bar will be fully equipped with a winter-proofed balcony, gas heaters, fleece blankets, freshly made gluhwein and gourmet hot chocolate. Come early and experience the newest after-work winter spot...

It's also a great spot to get that in-between sip before you head out into your obviously hectic Friday night parties. So C'mon down and grab a listen. LTC CDs will be on sale.

Clem Sunter's just written a nice piece about his favourite rock n' roll songs for News24.

Of course I couldn't resist commenting that he omitted mentioning the great Wanda Jackson. We must pay respect where it is due, and point out to others that which is so easily forgotten. or something.

A somewhat secretive appearance at the Barleycorn Music Club in Claremont last night...

Where, during song two  - TWANNGGGG!!! - a string goes pop on the double bass. Greg looks over and asks; "Shit - can you continue?"

I say - "I don't know - let's try it!"

Cue Long Time Citizen minus a D Bass string - rock out!

This Saturday we launch material at the Fat cactus - morning show!
