Popular Café Roux’s bandstand is now situated in both Noordhoek and in Cape Town’s CBD. The venue has always had a strong music culture with its Café Roux Sessions four or five nights a week, attracting a diverse line up local talent.
Words from MAJOZI: “Cafe Roux is my absolute favourite venue to play in the country. The staff are amazing, the food is awesome, and the people that come and watch are always the best crowd. It really has a special place in my heart and many other musicians around the country.”
A heads-up from ARD MATTHEWS: “Cafe Roux is one of the very few live venues in South Africa that ‘gets it’. To them, as it should be to every other venue, the music and the artists come first. Great respect is shown when an artist performs on the night and it starts with a simple sign on each table saying ‘Shhhh, let’s listen to the music…’ Thank you for setting the bar so high when it comes to the simple art of music appreciation. Last time I played there I probably experienced my most sincere standing ovation of my career to date. It really is an honour to play at this venue”
MATTHEW MOLE adds his 2 cents: “I grew up playing covers and background music at Cafe Roux. I loved it! Every time I go back to play a show there it always feels like home. The audience is always super-receptive, there is always a rad vibe. The level of professional makes Cafe Roux’s shows a highlight!” Make a note of February’s gigs:
