Performed live and talked nonsense with Solly and his funny crew at fledgling Cape Town internet-radio station The Taxi this morning. Happy birthday Heather, whoever you are! Tune into http://thetaxi.ndstream.net to catch a recording, which I think will be playing all day.

Oh, and a belated happy new year - Ian

It's been a while, I knoooooowwwwww! Busy busy. But this Friday you can't be doin' nothin' special at lunch time, cause nobody in Cape Town does. You know where Bread, Milk & Honey is on Church Square, right? Diagonally opposite is the SAE Institute (training the sound engineers of tomorrow!) and they have a GORGEOUS underground studio. I'm playing there with Rob Nel from 12h00-13h00 and it's a live recording. And FREE! Very intimate, very chilled... and your cheers immortalised for eternity!

Nobody knows what’s going to happen next week. Nobody knows how many foreigners are coming, nobody knows if the Gautrain will really work, nobody knows whether Bafana are going to shock us all… but everybody knows for certain that Giovannis are going to double the price of the country’s best cappuccino!

I know it’s supposed to be our secret weapon, but nobody really knows either what the accumulative effect of 60,000 vuvuzelas blowing at 64 matches in a row – not to mention the couple of hundred thousand extra in every city centre – is going to be on your hearing. So, while you’ve still got it, better make the most of some good music.

Because nobody knew that Kulula would give airline tickets away at R399, I’m stuck in Cape Town for the next month. So you can come catch me at The Theatre in the District from 8.00pm tonight – I’m on the bill at a fundraiser for ‘Theatre for Change’. I’m also at Zula on Cape Town’s Long street at 8.30pm on Sunday night (6th), and at the MTN Fanpark at the Waterfront on Friday 18th at 6.30pm. There’s more later in the month, but I’m not going to bore you… all details in the gig-guide at http://ianhenderson.com.

Puff out those cheeks, puff up those chests with pride, buy a team shirt (I can’t recommend the mirror covers cause my mate Sid’s lasted 3 hours) and enjoy it, all of it! This aint coming around again any time soon!

Ciao, Ian

Here are a few shots by the wonderful Deborah Rossouw from the Haiti Fundraiser at The Baxter concert hall in Cape Town on 16 May. An amazing night, loads of money raised, so many great artists... and a rare opportunity to perform on a R2million Steinway concert grand. I'm going to have to make my lounge a LOT bigger...

Cape Town for Haiti on 12 May at The Baxter. Sixteen of the best singer-songwriters in the country, singing two songs each, in one of the nicest theatres in town… that’s not something you can watch every day! And what is it about South African’s and charity always beginning at home? Give a little! So get off your asses and book a ticket at Computicket, cause they ARE going to sell out:
