It’s only rock and roll but you’ll like it
IT doesn’t sport mirrors on the ceiling or pink champagne on ice, but with electric guitars adorning its red brick walls, there’s no question that you’re in for a bit of a rock education at Cape Town’s new School of Rock.
The spot opened on Thursday night at Cavendish Mall, drawing musos and celebs alike. Learning to jam like Clapton or King might appeal — but we suspect half the charm of this music school is its great-looking teachers.
Spearheaded by brother-and-sister team Keith Taeuber and Leigh Spaun and three years in the making, the school offers guitar, bass, keys, vocals, brass and drum lessons for everyone age six and up.
“We aim to expose and identify new talent, while also creating a generation of music-loving children,” said Spaun.
Among the hard rockers we spotted was Good Hope FM sports presenter Tammy B look- ing great in a navy box-pleated skirt and matching sheer navy blouse, paired with nude pump heels. She tested some of the equipment — and belted out a tune. The girl can sing!
At the G-Star RAW store at the V&A Waterfront, just 15 minutes away, a different kind of instruction was on the go. Plonked on bean bags, guests were informed about the extent of plastic waste in our oceans with a screening of the doccie
The Plastic Age, directed by Jake Sumner and featuring US musician Pharrell Williams.
Then the crowd, which included crooner Chad Saaiman and fashionistas Theodore Afrika, Simone Theunissen and Trevor Stuurman, enjoyed drinks, chatted and shopped away.
In the stylish posse, Afrika and his spectacular Afro stole the show. We’re sure many turn their heads when they see this impressive hairdo and recognise him— because he’s not just an acclaimed photographer but also the guy from the Capitec advert!
