Jason 8/24/2007 1:54 PM: Goda, oda eish! Bit jealous Goda? Let the man enjoy his success!

Goda 8/24/2007 11:59 AM: Ah, Sonja, sonja BVB didn't even write that boring old song. He refused most interviews. Stood up for what he believed in? In Bok's case what's that... Bad haircuts? Ag shame man. there's something pathetic about claiming to be disenfranchised just because you're not the ONLY race that's allowed to vote and work.

Sonja 8/24/2007 9:06 AM: Bok van Blerk What do you mean by "forget about Bok van Blerk" He is BIG at the moment, VERY BIG!" And with his lastest cd and new cd being released soon, he is going even bigger!!!! The people won't be able to forget about him, he stood up for what he believed in!

khululiwe 2/20/2007 12:37 PM: my coke fest I can safely say that I am the only BLACK 19 YEAR OLD girl who listens to Guns 'n Roses so I gots to go and see em live. Unfortunatley I'm in Durban studying journalsim so I aing got cash and well I never will have it (journalsits are a poor bunch). If I dont get to see them now I never will! I can get myself to Joburg but the tickets eish...I cant afford that!

Illyan 2/17/2007 9:13 AM: My coke fest For a poor student like me who never has money, i might have to sell a kidney or two... but it will definitely be worth it - GUNS N ROSES ARE GOING TO ROCK!!! I CAN'T WAIT!!! :)

Jonathan 2/15/2007 8:01 PM: Big names in Alberton...FINALLY I think its awesome that realy good bands are finally coming to the deep south!!! rocking!!

Asylum Master 2/9/2007 9:18 AM: Thanks Hi there Jean. Awesome to see a response, we have found so many of the sites that come out and offer events but no one bothers to update them when I found your page the other night it was after about 4 hours of futile searches for decent event page listings. From my side, thanks for correcting my assumption on that you guys only list any event someone wants up there but that you only really list the big and main stream events, I feel the same we are not in your league or interested in “competing” in that arena, we trying to get the small guys out there to hopefully get to your level one day. Thanks for the tongue lashing in return good to see people out there ready to speak and say their mind, though I know you would love to have said more but that is the difference between PVT and cooperate I can … ha ha. Thanks again, will still keep an eye on your page for anything interesting. By the way you welcome to jump into our forum and give me a flaming there and get away with it. Asylum M

jean barker 2/8/2007 2:56 PM: What this guide is for This guide is supposed to be a selection of big-scale gigs and events we recommend, not a listing of local bars. For those, join an sms list or go to the venue's site - or to Asylum Master's site, if you think he's a nice guy. We're not here to compete with that.

Asylum Master 2/7/2007 9:00 PM: Gig guide. Sorry forgot to add for thoes that are interested in our guide, mainly music, www.thewhitepaddedcell.co.za/events.html

Asylum Master 2/7/2007 8:58 PM: Alternate Gig guide. I feel the same as miranda... been a site that runs our own gig guide, this one is disgracefull for the size of the site. Was here hoping to expand our database of gigs to include more contemporary as well.

Karen 2/3/2007 1:14 PM: and the rest of 2007? Whats happening the rest of the year - like after april.

Ed 2/3/2007 12:19 PM: My CokeJoke 2007 I absolutely guarantee that Coke and 5FM will bugger this one up just as they managed to so efficiently bugger up last year's Co-Lab debacle (held at SuperSport Park in Centurion). Anyone who was there will have to agree with these sentiments. It was a disgrace. Take our money and smile, then pass the buck and refuse to take the blame for what could only be described as a horrendous day.

issie 2/2/2007 12:43 AM: danse in pretoria Waar is daar nog ordentlike plekke om te dans in pretoria vir mense tussen ouderdom 40j en 50 jaar en watter datums en tye.

Hugo 2/1/2007 8:50 AM: More local gigs please! What about weekly updates of gigs in cities & towns? Jazz in Jozi yes! But travel to Pta,CTN & Dbn & you're lost Support local artists!!

marinda 1/8/2007 9:26 AM: shows in Jhb whats happening at the open air venues in Jhb? Please updat this site. No use to tell us about stuff that already happened.

cory 1/4/2007 4:28 PM: WIN? >>plak WIN! Tickets to see Irish superstar Ronan Keating with Arno Carstens live in Cape Town's Vellodrome on December 5th. >>>klaargeplak Even though the Irish are involved, surely he should have been advertised before the gig? And there is surely no point in telling me about the Kirstenbosch and Mamelodi gigs today , 4 January. Julle mors weer my donderse tyd!

RIANNA COMBRINK 1/4/2007 1:59 PM: !!!!!!!!!!!RONAN LIVE!!!!!!!!!!! RONAN KEATON LIVE!!!! WISH I COULD BE THERE, BUT MAYBE NEXT TIME WHEN HE'S SHOW IS CLOSER TO US.

Lily Shore 1/2/2007 3:27 PM: Tizziano - No parties in PE? Don't know, Tizz, do people still live there?

Tizziano 12/30/2006 9:29 AM: PE Sucks Why are there no parties happening in PE ???

Shoana Gordon 11/2/2006 11:24 PM: So I've heard... Not to be the one to burst bubbles, i'm quite fond on them but i think Niickelback has been cancelled. Please don't take my word for it, it's something that i heard and being in the events line of work the news gets around to us faster than the general public. I do hope i'm wrong!
