LIVE @ THE BIG APPLE returns to Protea Hotel Wanderers on
Friday 28 August with BRUCE AND FRESK to entertain the patrons from 5 – 9pm on
the hotel’s Pool Deck.
After a highly successful launch of this new entertainment
concept held in June, this will be the first of the public evenings to take
place every second month, on the last Friday of that month.
Live @ The Big Apple will take place on Friday 28 August
from 5 – 9pm.
At just R200 per person if paid in advance, or R230 per
person if paid at the door, guests will enjoy Cognac, high-end brandies and
wines for the duration of the evening. These will be coupled with a mouth-watering
3-course gourmet snack menu to complement these brands.
Live entertainment will be provided by the jazz duo, BRUCE
AND FRESK, to totally round off an evening of pure style and jazzy
sophistication.
Bruce and Fresk consists of Cameron Bruce, singer and
guitarist of Idols fame whose debut album featured two singles,“I Didn’t Mean
to Come Around” and “When the Heart Hurts” which have enjoyed heavy play time
on several radio stations and John
Fresk, American pianist and Yamaha artist who has played with such artists as
Bobby McFerrin, gospel singer Howard MccRary, Meri Wilson and many others.
Their combined efforts as a duo are a tour de force of soul and expertise.

if booked and paid for in advance, or R230 cash at the door.

rate that evening for the guests attending, of R700 per room, room only (Single

As explained by Natalie Botha, General Manager of Protea
Hotel Wanderers; “The hotel has been wanting to firmly establish itself as a
venue of choice for the Friday afternoon Sundowner experience. But we wanted it
to be different from other venues, with our own unique up-scale twist to the
concept, so when we met with The CoLab Network team, we knew we had found our
partner in this venture, who can provide the total pizzazz we want to create.
Collett Dawson of The CoLab Network responded; “It’s long
been part of our mandate to find and create new entertainment venues for our
incredible local talent so when we were approached by Jurie Erasmus, Food &
Beverage Manager of Protea Hotel Wanderers, it was a no-brainer. What a
wonderful opportunity to be able to take his brain child and develop it with
him and his team to establish a fresh take on the Friday afternoon Sundowner
concept, incorporating all lifestyle elements to provide a unique, classy environment
for Jozi residents to enjoy a new way to wind down after the work week”.
If the response to the launch was anything to go by, this
venue will fast become Jozi’s premier Friday evening Cocktail/Sundowner
hotspot, providing a classy fresh take on Friday afternoon Cocktails.
The Live @ The Big Apple August event – Bruce and Fresk - is
made possible by Protea Hotel Wanderers, The CoLab Network, Linenz, Upstage and
Distell.
The next public event will take place on Friday 30 October.
