Stef Bos


Stef Bos, the highly regarded and popular Dutch pianist, songwriter and actor, will be performing at the Fugard Theatre in Cape Town on the 27th and 28th January, 2012.


Bos was born in the Netherlands and has worked extensively around the globe during his professional career. He will be performing for two nights only at the Fugard Theatre and local audiences can expect his usual mastery behind his grand piano in this show.

Bos began his career as an actor and cabaret artist and his breakthrough as a musician came in 1990 when he impressed audiences with his hit song "Papa" that went to double platinum status. He is known for his unique style of linking his music to his theatrical performances and he has won several prestigious awards including the Golden Harp (Holland) and Edison (America) Awards.

After the birth of his son in 2010, Bos started creating a new solo-show combining his vocal, piano and lyrical skills to bring to life a brand new musical journey. European critics cited the show as the most surprising, honest and best that Bos has presented to date, with the perfect balance between humour and honesty that moves his audience.

Performances commence at 8pm and tickets cost from R100 to R140 via Computicket or the Fugard Theatre box office on 021 461 4554. Friends of the Fugard benefit from generous discounts through the theatre’s box office. Advance booking is recommended. (http://www.thefugard.com/)

Bo-Kaap Brothers

This image came to me as I was about to jump in my car after a job in Wale Street in the Bo-Kaap, Cape Town. The image on the left grabbed my attention moments before I noticed the happenings at the house next door. Thus, the framing of the two images together.
