The first thing you hear at Thandolwami is… well the quiet. It is a peaceful retreat with Horseback safari rides, amazing meals and a pool deck.
It was a lovely long lazy weekend unwinding in the mild winter sun with easily accessible day trips.
Cherry Pill played a concert on the newly-opened sunset deck which has a 360 panoramic view of the surrounds. The perfect place to for a warm cuppa on a winters evening while enjoying a violin and guitar performance. Thanks to @ @Bambelelahorsesafaris
@thando.experience01 for hosting us, it was a memorable experience.

Guests to the Oasis Seniors Tea were treated to a Christmas in July afternoon with music, connection and delicious Christmas treats.

We were a little under dressed as some of the participants really pulled out all the stops in dressing-up for the occasion.

Swoon at Noon was the title of Cherry Pill’s Lunch Hour Concert at Theatre on the Square.
We had a quick interview with a local journalist just before our show and were surprised by this lovely article in the local press!

Cherry Pill’s love affair with live music | Sandton Chronicle

When Kristel Birkholtz lifts her violin and Rory Gaddin settles in behind his guitar, it’s more than a performance; it’s a partnership that has grown over decades.

The couple, whose band is named Cherry Pill, graced the Theatre on the Square with their presence on February 20.

We were super excited to hear we have a special commendation for our song ‘Tears That Flow’ from the UK Songwriting Competition for 2022.

Inspired by overcoming a period of physical and personal drought Tears that Flow recalls the feeling of longing for the return of something you once had or a hunger for something new. The uplifting ‘Tears That Flow’ will gently lift your spirits.

To take a listen to the song, you can find it on your favourite platform:

We’ve got some new music coming soon!
