The hotspots for live music on the Fringe are the Cuervo Music Room, the Graham Hotel, Nombulelo Hall and the Bowling Club, which plays host to a selection of tribute shows.
This year’s programme includes prolific acoustic musicians Guy Buttery and Tony Cox, who both played and mesmerised audiences at Splashy Fen in Underberg this year.Guy Buttery says he loves it here and just keeps coming back.
