Rocking the Daisies & Riding the Crazies

I always loved daisies, white daisies to be precise, and this weekend they were in full bloom. Rocking the Daisies was yet another annual hit and what better way to get to this earth-loving-eco-friendly-weird-people-super-lekker-music festival than a Vespa! On Friday afternoon, Bree Street was buzzing with the beautiful sound of 19 two-stroke Italian engines as Riding the Crazies was heading for Darling. We made it to Cloof wine estate in good time, and even better style as we slowly drove pass a 3 km long welcoming party of motorists queuing to enter the party. The festival, awesome, and so was everything that goes with such festivals, and so the music too. My favourite, the guys from Brazil & Mozambique, Napalma whom very kindly slotted South Africa in on their Estradeiros Tour, along with Gold Fish and eagle Eye Cherry. Sunday morning, after a late night, refreshing farm dam swim and lekker coffee, we head back to Cape Town. The round trip, including scooting around added 250km to my odometer which suck up a mere 9 litres of fuels – now that’s eco-friendly! Many thanks to Neil & David from Scootdr.com for orchestrating “Riding the Crazies”. Head over to the gallery to see some daisy shots!

I had the opportunity to meet Verity back in 2006, soon after the idea of selling a future album was born. What a brilliant idea. Go onto her website at www.iamverity.co.za where you can purchase her album, to be released somewhere in the future. For the time being, you’ll receive her single with outstanding songs, a little teaser of what is to come. She is a lovely spirited and warm talent, with dear and honest values. Verity will be performing at Kirstenbosch Gardens, Cape Town on 25 May to celebrate her 2000th album sold.
