Cover charge?

Thinking I'll start attending some of these, not far from me.

It's nominal. The artists perform for free and Andy seeks only to cover costs - the room hire and wear and tear on his PA.

It used to be R20, but may have gone up this year.

The standard is usually pretty good.

That's really not much at all. Must really take a look.
Old Parktonian is across the road from Andy's is it not?

It is. The parking entrance is just a little further along. If you're driving so that you would make a left turn into Andy's parking you go past Andy's and then the entrance to Old Parks is 100m or so further down on the right.

Covert charge for Andy's Acoustic Music Forum is now R30.00.

How was it? Sorry I couldn't make it, ended up working late.

I have never gone to one of Andy's evenings and not heard at least two acts that struck me with good craftsmanship and a novel approach. I particularly enjoyed Apple Ann and the duo of Richard Bruyns and Mike Burger. Plus my steak roll was pretty good.

"Michelle Eden" turned out to be "Eden Michelle".

What's the attendance generally like?

Might make a nice northern suburbs GTG once in a while.

It's variable. Some acts bring more fans than others. But never BIG - except for the night that Tony Cox played.

It could be a good GTG venue as there's outside seating, a pub, and food available from the pub. And, of course, the music.

Well that's nice, I'm keen. I know there's a few guys in the Randburg and neighboring areas on here

Even Norio could.... straight down the N1 for him
