Local recommendations

As it's Tourism Month and Heritage Day this Saturday we're proud to bring you a newsletter packed full of local location recommendations and cultural activities. In fact, there are so many events and festivals taking place this Heritage Day picking just one is quite the feat. Just a few options include The Fringe Arts Festival, Color Run, Arts Alive Festival and the Coffee Choc Expo.

In top story news Daniel Derksen interviews Paul du Tout about his role in musical 'Hedwig and the Angry Inch' now on at Gate 69 in Cape Town; I interview band ISO about their latest album release; and we give you a pick of the top restaurants to dine at this Heritage Day in Joburg, Cape Town and Durban.

We're also running two new comps: tickets to Park Acoustics and Rocktober are up for grabs!
