A Night Not To Be Missed...

Joburg diners are in for a treat when two of the country's finest performers can be seen on-stage as Absinthe at the award-winning upscale Sandton restaurant, Le Canard on Saturday, 22 October.


Absinthe is the acoustic rock collaboration between the lead singers of WONDERboom and Sugardrive, Cito and Paul E. Flynn, where they have taken a supper club approach to some of your favourite songs from the last century. The concept is simple; no originals, just covers.

The fusion of these two uniquely diverse voices will be accompanied by acoustic guitars in an awesome show ranging from great alternative classics to contemporary favourites. Cito and Paul pay tribute to a way of life with their own unique signature performances in a relaxed, unplugged style ideally suited for this cosy setting.

Their programme will include easily recognisable hits, some of which are also included on their recently released album, A Rendezvous At Nirvana. Says Cito: "We finally get to live up to our French and sophisticated name! When Paul and I first spoke about how and where we wanted Absinthe to perform, we envisaged playing at intimate restaurants that had character and atmosphere. Le Canard will be a great change from the venues where we have performed before and the duet combination of only me and Paul will also allow for a more intimate performance in this wonderful restaurant."

In keeping with their innovative soiree concepts, hosts Le Canard will present a menu themed on the Absinthe liqueur. Expect wonderful herbal notes in the 4-course mouthwatering menu, with choices. Apart from an informal Absinthe tasting, the wines chosen to accompany dinner are the organic Ladybird range from award-winning Laibach Estate.



The ticket price of R380 is all inclusive of the performance, 4-course menu, liqueurs and wines. Booking is essential as seating is limited for this one night only musical journey experience. Reservations can be made on (011) 884-4597 or lecanard@icon.co.za. For more info, log on to www.lecanard.co.za or www.absintheband.co.za.
