News just received from Professor Pieter Scholtz is that from September 14, St Clements restaurant in Musgrave Road (previously stated erroneously as being in St Thomas/Essenwood Roads) is to host poetry readings and music on Monday evenings.

“The project is the brainchild of a group of authors and musicians who breakfast every Friday at St. Clements,” explains Pieter Scholtz. “Our group includes Andrew Verster, Rick Andrew, Themi Venturas, Pieter Scholtz, James Parker and Fred Felton. Stephen Clement, the owner, is very enthusiastic about the project.”

The programme kicks off on September 14 with Dark Chocolate, a Durban ensemble of Rick and Jill Andrew with Dennis Bronner. On September 21, there’s Sacred and Profane featuring poetry readings by Evelyn Cresswell, Andrew Verster and Pieter Scholtz with incidental music by Rick Andrew.
