Fronted by the velvet voiced André Strydom as the Jazz Singer, the Centrestage All-Star band will succeed in triumphantly combining the worlds of Las Vegas with that of rock, to provide a night steeped in sentimentality as the familiar Neil Diamond hits are given the Centrestage entertainment treatment.
Strydom sprinkles gentle love songs in between up-tempo rockers, as evergreens such as Forever in Blue Jeans, Song Sung Blue, Crackling Rosie, Desiree, Soolaiman, America, Longfellow Serenade, I Am I Said, America, Love on the Rocks, Yesterdays Songs and Sweet Caroline make up but a few of the top hits in the 2 hour show.
Included too is Diamond’s 2009 hit “Pretty Amazing Grace”, which gave Diamond the honour of being the oldest performer to top the US charts – as well as the duet “You Don’t Bring Me Flowers Any More”, which will see Caron Strydom joining her father on stage.
“I am extremely proud of this particular show – nobody does Neil Diamond like Andre Strydom – he is an international quality performer, with not only the voice to compliment Neil Diamond, but also the heart – it is a great privilege to have him performing in our Centrestage stable” says enthusiastic Centrestage owner, Gary Hemmings
The All-Star Band also take individual turns to strut their stuff, with Gino Fabbri having fun on the Diamond-penned I’m A Believer, Kanya Matomela on Beautiful Noise, while Alan Kozak takes Centrestage with Girl You’ll Be A Woman Soon, Stargazer and Robert E Lee. Donna Africa shows her show-stopping calibre on the Diamond hit “I Who Have Nothing”.
Bookings are through Computicket or at the Theatre. Tickets are R110 each.

Langeberg Mall Centre manager, Wendy Bezuidenhout hands over a cheque for R10 000 to Hamish Cairns of the Garden Route Casino as part of their contribution to the Miss Garden Route & Klein Karoo project to raise funds for four Safe Houses for battered women and children in the Southern Cape.
“We have booked a table and plan on having an exceptionally fun evening at the Miss Garden Route & Klein Karoo Pageant” says Wendy Bezuidenhout, Manager of the Langeberg Mall in Mossel Bay. The Mall has purchased a table of 10 and plan on treating their staff and other role players on 25 September.“This is such a worthy cause where people get involve to better the life and circumstances of abused women and children. We ALL have to do our bit to take this project to higher levels” she added.
Apart from “putting her money where her mouth is” and buying a table to support the Safe Homes project, Ms Bezuidenhout and the Mall have embraced the Miss Garden Route & Klein Karoo project in more than one way.
Not only have they come to the party in a big way with sponsoring no less than eight make-over candidates from the CEF (Creating Effective Families) Safe House in Mossel Bay and Malibongwe Safe House in Oudtshoorn, they have also donated R10 000 cash in support of the project. Each candidate received vouchers for clothing. The latter was worn in the AFTER photo shoot. The women were allowed to keep the clothing.
“If we can get every business in town to buy a table, the marquee will definitely be too small and the coffers of the Safe Houses will bulge” she added and challenged all the retail businesses to get involve and buy tickets. “The best is that ALL the ticket money go to the Safe Homes and you are still guaranteed a fun evening filled with top artists, beautiful girls, unique designers, celebs as well as eats, juice, wine, magazines and gifts to take home. All of that for only R150. “Now if that is not a bargain in any terms, then I don’t know” she added.

Alett Fourie voordat sy vir ‘n dag lank soos ‘n koninklike gepamperlang is.
Dis die klein dingetjies in die lewe wat tel en wat die lewe meer draagbaar maak. En wat ‘n bonus as die papie nog in ‘n pragtige skoenlapper ook ontpop!
Die papie wat in ‘n skoenlapper verander het. Aletta Fourie nadat haar hare versorg en sy pragtig gegrimeer is
Me Aletta Fourie (33), afkomstig van Wilderness, maar tans woonagtig in Mosselbaai, stem honderd persent hiermee saam. Toe sy so twee maande gelede op Mosselbaai aangekom het om by CEF (Creating Effective Families) haar menswaardigheid te herwin, het sy nooit gedink sy gaan ook die geleentheid kry om vir een dag soos ‘n koninklike behandel te word nie.
Aletta is die laaste gelukkige vrou van CEF wat gekies is om ‘n ‘make-over’ as deel van die Mej Garden Route & Klein Karoo-projek te ervaar. Tydens die projek is vier vroue van elk van die vier Veilige Huise in die Suid-Kaap wat deur die proujek ondersteun word, gekies en vir ‘n dag lank soos koninklikes behandel. Die vier Veilige Huise is CEF van Mosselbaai, Malibongwe van Oudtshoorn, Phambili van George en Women Who Care van Knynsna.
Elk van die vier Huise kies ‘n finalis en dié vier vroue word volgende week deur ‘n paneel, waarvan Natasha Sutherland een van die beoordelaars is, ontmoet en die wenner word tydens die gala-aand op Saterdag 25 September aangekondig. Benewens die R1 000 kontant wat deur die Casino aan die wenner geskenk word, is daar ook produkpryse wat die wenner ontvang. Elke finalis wat tydens die projek mooigemaak is, het ook produkpryse ontvang en is op heerlike middagetes getrakteer. Die deelnemers van Mosselbaai en Oudtshoorn is deur die winkels by Langeberg Mall getrakteer.
Aletta het beslis ervaar dat ‘n goed versorgde vrou ‘n sierraad is. Sy het behoorlik geblom nadat haar pragtige hare deur die stilis by Lucerna Haarsalon op Mosselbaai versorg is. Hierna is haar grimering deur Thandi by Edgars by Langeberg Mall gedoen en toe het sy die winkels ingevaar om haar koopbewyse vir klere te gebruik. Volgens Adri-Ann Seconds van die Casino wat vir Aletta vergesel het, het hulle behoorlik van een winkel na ‘n ander geloop op soek na die beste kopies. “Aletta het haar bewyse baie slim en oordeelkundig gebruik en het pragtig en ontspanne gelyk na haar pamperlang-sessie” het Adri-Ann vertel.
Aletta het onlangs ‘n drie week lange kursus in ouerskap voltooi en konsentreer nou eers op die helingsproses vir haarself en haar drie dogters. Sy is nog nie seker wat sy gaan doen wanneer sy die Veilige Huis verlaat nie, maar sy is positief ingestel op die toekoms en net vol lof vir die ondersteuning wat CEF en sy perosneel haar bied.
“Sê ook vir die lesers hulle moet hierdie projek ondersteun deur kaartjies te koop. Hulle sal nooit besef wat dit vir ‘n vrou doen om speisaal te voel en ook so behandel te word nie” het sy gesê en bygevoeg dat sy hoop dat die publiek die harde werk agter die skerms sal raaksien en besef dat hulle ook deel kan word met hul bydraes.
Kaartjies vir die gala-aand wat op 25 September by Pinnacle Point Strand- en Gholflandgoed plaasvind, is teen R150 elk by Computicket of by die Casino beskikbaar. Computicket is by die meeste Checkers beskikbaar

This upmarket theatre will be catering for the more discern theatre goer and music lover.
Question Marks (Photo Denise Lloyd)
The concept behind the theatre is one of quality entertainment in a pleasant and warm environment. Apart from the theatre the complex will also house a separate bar, with an 11 metre serving surface and a 120 seater family restaurant with an outside deck. A special kiddies section has been added. A focal point of the restaurant will be the grand piano mounted on a circular stage in the restaurant section. This will double up as a cocktail bar and entertainment area.
The theatre will have tables and chairs positioned on different levels for better viewing. Food and beverages will be available from the restaurant and the bar.

Casper de Vries has also committed himself as well as Sharleen Surtie-Richards with her local Shirley Valentyn and theatre diva Sandra Prinsloo with her sell out performance of Die Naaimasjien. The Kalahari Restaurant Theatre will change the cultural atmosphere in the Garden Route – that is for sure.

With them are MC Claude Pretorius and the dance duo sensation from George, Allister Alexander and Robyn Avontuur.
The foyer at the Garden Route Casino in Mossel Bay has been transformed into a gallery of colourful flags representing the different countries taking part in the 2010 Soccer World Cup. Together with the vuvuzelas and soccer balls visitors are immediately transformed into the spirtit of the new Time to Score promotion at the casino.
Japan’s_flag
The area at the stage, where the virtual draws take palce, has been decorated with the Japan flag. This flag, with its red circle on a stark white background, is very appropriate seeing that the Japanese team will be staying at Fancourt in George and it is expected that their supporters will definitely pay the casino a few visits.
The Time to Score promotion will run till 25 August and participants have the opportunity to win a share of over R1,8 million in cash. Every Wednesday cash up to R55 500 can be won in the 13:30 and 21:00 draws. For more information on the promotion, visit the website on www.gardenroutecasino.co.za.

It is an art to blow the vuvuzela, but Anthony Valentyn from Oudtshoorn showed his delight with his winning on Wednesday by grabbing one of the colourful vuvuzelas on display in the Casino foyer. The fact that the sound produced was a far cry from what it should be, only added to the fun. Joining in the fun were first time winner Marie Meiring from Dana Bay and many time winner Avril du Toit. At the back is MC Claude Pretorius and in front the dance duo Robyn and Allister. (PHOTO: Denise Lloyd)
The Garden Route Casino in Mossel Bay has gone virtual. The first draw in the brand new Time to Score promotion on Wednesday was automatically done by the computer, without visitors having to enter their tickets into a bin. Visitors need to print only a single receipt with all their numbers listed. The lucky numbers are randomly picked and displayed on a flat screen for everyone to see. “This is fabulous. Now I can see first hand, because my hearing is not that good” one of the participants said after the first number was drawn.
In the spirit of the World Cup 2010 the Time to Score promotion is built around the soccer theme. In the foyer of the Casino visitors are welcomed by a display of vuvuzelas, soccer balls and flags from the participating countries. Even the now familiar dance duo Robyn Avontuur and Allister Alexander from George were dressed in soccer gear and danced to the tune of “Frankie”.
The Time to Score promotion will run till 25 August and participants have the opportunity to win a share of over R1,8 million in cash. Every Wednesday cash up to R55 500 can be won in the 13:30 and 21:00 draws.
