Thirty years after Brel’s death his songs have not lost the power to send shivers down the spine.
Described as being as poetic as Bob Dylan, as introspective as John Lennon and as virile as Bruce Springsteen, Brel’s acute perception made him an innovative and creative painter of daily life.
It is uncanny how as a female singer, Watling makes Brel’s virile, masculine songs work flawlessly.
Tickets are R100. Call 072-506-6000.
Picnic baskets welcome. Cash bar available.
