Welcome to my blog!

For those of you who don't know me; I'm a scatterbrained ex-journalist with a passion for music - specifically local music. My mission on Music'nStuff is to share album reviews, gig reviews, interviews, gig guides, etc. with you - with the hope that my love for music will at least rub off on some of you so we can support South African music the way it deserves to be supported.







Please feel free to contact me - and tell all your friends about Music'nStuff! After all: they say music is a universal language, so spread the word!

Eeeep! It's Almost Time...

Do you hear that office clock ticking? It's ticking just for you... ticking the minutes, hours and days away until you can unleash your beast... (and let me tell you; I'm counting the sleeps - true story!) Yes, friends, The RAM is finally here! Pack away your suits and books and take out your crazy party clothes (hat tricks included) and get ready to have the time of your life!



The RAM has been spoon fed some adrenalin and Vitamin B cocktails since last year and it's ready to break out of its cage. It's the calm before the animalistic musical storm. When Saturday, March 12 arrives, all hell is sure to break loose!

John Vlismas will be the MC for the event and here is just a little reminder of what you can expect at Riversands Farm in Fourways.

Here we go; get your boots on 'cause it's going to be pretty rad!
