Click for enlargement
The Cottage Club is about Local Music. It’s about the musicians and the songwriters and the tremendous talent we are blessed with in our country. It’s about the dignity of the artists and about giving them the respect they deserve. It’s about providing the audience with the cream of home-grown contemporary folk music. Join us for an intimate performance in our cosy 25 -seater venue, located in the picturesque mountain slopes overlooking the Kommetjie valley. Bring your own picnic or join us for a hearty bowl of soup & bread.
