Spread the warm and fuzzies

We continue on our content theme for #MandelaMonth with an interview with band, Shortstraw, about upcoming event Mandelapalooza. We also interview ballady rock band Watershed about their new album.

Middle of the year equals winter specials and we review two of them; Mondiall's and the President Hotel's winter menus are both set to make your belly feel warm and fuzzy.

In #winning news, we've got tickets up for grabs to Fokofpolisiekar's Swanesang album launch at Aandklas and The Assembly!
