Whats up at The Grand Daddy?

Is it too early in the week to be think­ing about the week­end? We think not! So let's get up to date with the next two weeks of funky, fun events that are hap­pen­ing at The Grand Daddy Hotel. In case you are unfa­mil­iar with this hotel, The Grand Daddy is one of the places to be in Cape Town.

Not only are the staff warm and hos­pit­able, but the pent­house trailer park, that is home to a col­lec­tion of 7 vin­tage Airstream cara­vans all with the back­drop of Table Mountain, is a unique and inspir­ing venue that will be host to all of these events. And if you are con­cerned that the weather may be a bit dodge don’t worry the events will just move a few floors down and will be hos­ted in the Daddy Cool Bar (an equally cool place to find your­self in!).

And let me men­tion this first before you start to won­der how much this will cost you, these events are free of charge, yes you got that right — it isn’t every­day you can be enter­tained by some fant­astic musical acts with no cover charge. But ... let me remind you that you will need to settle your bar tab at the end of the evening ...

Dave Ferguson rocks the roof on Friday (20 November) from 18h00 to 20h00 come and join your friends or organ­ise a group from work to join you on the rooftop for sun­down­ers and ease your­self into the week­end. With an ice cold beer or glass of wine in your hand you can let your hair down while Ferguson’s one man show enter­tains you by using only a har­mon­ica, human beat-box, vocals and record­ing live loops of music which in turn is all cre­ated into a fab­ulous sound.

If you are unfa­mil­iar with a’capella music then you def­in­itely shouldn’t miss the musical act of D7 on Wednesday 25 November from 18h00 to 20h00, these guys are mak­ing waves with their fresh sounds. A’capella basic­ally means that you sing unac­com­pan­ied (i.e. no back­ing tracks), these guys bring a new spin to a’capella with rework­ing old favour­ites (Michael Jackson) and new favour­ites (Goldfish) and put­ting their own spin to the music.

It's fab­ulously enter­tain­ing and you will def­in­itely have a great even­ing out with them on stage. Think beat-box, think up beat and think fresh harmonies!

The Pink Flamingo is ded­ic­ated to restor­ing the exper­i­ence of cinema with this out­door cinema. The Pink Flamingo is a Roof Top Cinema in Long Street, Cape Town. The cinema fea­tures cult clas­sics, car­toons and fam­ily favor­ites. Tickets are R50 and it includes a cone of sweeties, a wel­come drink and a choice between an Eskimo Pie, candy floss or pop­corn. Now that is def­in­itely a bargain.

If you’d like to snuggle up to someone spe­cial on a secure, comfy couch on the front row (it does fit up to 3 people) you can do so for only R200 and this includes all the good­ies men­tion earlier as well as a selec­tion of cold drinks in a private cooler box.

Screenings take place on Sunday and Thursday nights and all movies start at 19h30.
It is essen­tial to book, so let me show you the line up for the upcom­ing weeks:

Sunday 15 November — Double Indemnity
Thursday 19 November — Cinema Paradiso
Sunday 22 November  — Karate Kid
Thursday 26 November – Breakfast at Tiffanys (re-run)
