This 18-piece big band led by trombonist Jannie
'Hanepoot' van Tonder plays a collection of strictly South African
Big Band Jazz, including new arrangements of SA 'standards' by the
likes of Errol Dyers, Zakes Nkosi, Hugh Masekela and Dollar Brand,
as well as originals by Merton Barrow, Douglas Armstrong, David
Ledbetter and Hanepoot himself.
You'll hear some Cape Town goema and Jo'burg marabi
tunes, some trad big bandswing and perhaps even a
tango..
On Friday Hanepoot & the Biggish
Band
kick the evening off at 7pm with a 45-minute set, followed by
the Little Giants, the South Peninsula Alumni Jazz Band and Sound
Image. 
Quench your thirst in the Beer Garden. Experience the tastes from the best outdoor
restaurants in town offering delicious curries, calamari, Chinese,
Thai and vegetarian food, and droolishish pancakes.
The evening is part of the St
Luke's Hospice fundraising weekend,
which continues on Saturday with their Annual Fete, also at
Maynardville. Entrance is free. Donations are welcome in lieu of the
entry fee.
Maynardville is located in Wynberg, opposite the police station
