On 31 May the Cow Shed at Cloof will become the Hay Lounge, with an intimate performance by popular Cape Town band Jacsharp. Space is limited, so you need to be sharp (if you’ll excuse the expression). Tickets are R150 per adult, and include lunch (see Events & Tastings section of our website for menu and booking information).

In their own words:
What do you get when you mix an electro drummer, funk rock guitarist, an afro bassist and a jazz singer...? People often struggle to put their finger on the genre, but we think afro-pop best describes the eclectic sound! Introducing jacSharp…

jacSharp began as a musical meeting of minds – with the group forming the live acoustic band in early 2005. After 2 years of relationship forging, jacSharp launched as a professional band in 2008. Soon after they had success in winning the Hewlett Packard Launch your Band Global competition – flying to Berlin to perform at the celebratory event held by HP for over 1000 international journalists.

The eclectic sound that is jacSharp is already exploding both to the international and South African markets. Their brand has been established with hundreds of gigs behind them including prestigious festivals such as ‘South Africa’ day in London, Rocking the Daisies and Splashy Fen, a music video on DSTV’s MK channel, and extensive national radio airtime.
