On the box
On a lighter note, the SAFTAs have come and gone – thank you to all of you who voted for Scandal. I would be lying if I said there isn’t a twinge of disappointment when a show you’re working in doesn’t win – but I am pleased for those who did win. I should be […]
And the year goes racing by…
So, we’re 2 months into the new year already. Don’t know how yours started but mine has been somewhat disjointed with lots of things happening and lots of changes. I seem to remember January and February ambling along not running at full tilt. And this year they haven’t been without their fair share of disasters […]

Look Ma… no hands!
The gig at Piatto on the 29th was fab. I played with an all new band – Marc Rausch, Nduduzo Makhatini, Pete Sklaire and Josh Thatcher. Let me tell you, my man Nduduzo can tickle those ivories. And yes – I am wearing a sling. Fractured shoulder – mountain biking can be hazardous to your […]
What happened to 2009?
I’m staring at my calendar and cannot believe it’s the end of the year already.

I’m not what one would call an anti-consumerist but it seems that retailers lack common decency […]
Making money for CHOC
I am thrilled to announce that CHOC raised approximately R500k from auctions at their fundraiser. The universe really has a way of keeping you upbeat. Just when you become hectically cynical you go to an event such as this and you see people dig deep and give freely to help people they don’t even know. […]
Back on Scandal
I have been back on the Scandal set for some time now but only appeared on the box again this Thursday (12 November). Grand entrance I make – thwack – big slap – from a former lover. I was more than mildly panicked when I did my shoulder in. The wonderful writers at Scandal worked […]
More Erfsondes…
We have finished filming Erfsondes 3. I am not sure when it will air but I’ll certainly keep you posted. My Scandal schedule will pick up as the story line hots up. Speaking of tv and more correctly film I hope you’ve all been to see District 9. It is unapologetically a South African film […]
Musically speaking
It was also a first for the Zululand Remedial Centre thanks to their choir teacher. Marlize heard me perform “One Last Breath” at my June gig in the Bay and so liked it she wanted to teach the choir to sing it. So we took it a step further and asked the choir to join […]
