Music In The Gardens

South Africa's singing heartthrob, Bobby Van Jaarsveld will be charming audiences on Sunday, June 19 at the Old Mutual Music In The Gardens Concert taking place at the Pretoria Botanical Gardens.

Old Mutual is fighting the cold with their winter concert series at the Pretoria and Johannesburg Botanical Gardens. The series includes performances by some of South Africa's most popular artists the likes of Theuns Jordaan, Chris Chameleon, Prime Circle, Zebra & Giraffe and Die Heuwels Fantasties.

Bobby Van Jaarsveld will be performing as part of the series at the Pretoria Botanical Gardens this coming Sunday. He is currently one of the most popular performers in South Africa and fans can look forward to an enjoyable, energetic performance featuring all his well-known hits. His album, Net Vir Jou earned him the coveted SAMA for Best Afrikaans Pop Album in February 2010 and along with this album, Bobby also broke records with his music video for the hit single Spieeltjie. Apart from his musical talent, he also appeared in the Afrikaans music film Liefling, showcasing his versatility.
