I'm not familiar with all the acts listed here, but Them Particles are well worth seeing - I've been very impressed every time I see them live, whether "electric" or, as here, "unplugged". Eden Michelle is a very promising singer/songwriter. Mike Burger plays his own style of finger-picked acoustic guitar. Since lap steeler Richard Bruyns will be turning out with Them Particles I am hoping that Mike and Richard will combine forces as they have done in the past.

I played there once. The atmosphere was a muso's atmosphere. Andy is a very endearing character. It was a fantastic evening. The musicians are chosen by Andy and they were all great that evening with the possible exception of myself. ?

What? Really? LOL and how to interpret "didn't suck"... ?

Sounds great ☹

Are there any regular acoustic nights/venues in the Cape Town area (except for Barleycorn)?

I went, I saw, I enjoyed. Very lekker evening. In particular I enjoyed Rambling Bones and "Brains Trust" AKA Richard Bruyns and Mike Burger.

If you weren't there then... there's no other way to say it ... you weren't there.

I must say I really enjoyed Them Particles as well.
Very JJ Cale -ish with a nice mix of instruments:
Guitar
Lap steel guitar
Acoustic bass
Penny whistle/flute/accordion
Snare drum and cymbals (?) or single drum
Get into a mesmeric groove and have fun
