The five member band from Motherwell are the resident entertainers at The Boardwalk‘s News Café and Central’s Zanzibar restaurant and have hosted many corporate events.

Manager, Thandile Petshwa, describes the band as true professionals with sensational and uncompromising sound, “We strive to offer excellent entertainment while keeping a professional and efficient service to our fans, we would like to be remembered for producing a unique sound,” says Petshwa.

Take Note was formed four years ago with some of its members being students at NMMU. The band has grown from strength to strength, sharing the stage with national and international artists such as Sliq Angel and DJ Cleo as well as WDR Jazz Band.

The evening will see the local lads performing with highly profiled Retie Pule who has performed along Dolly Rathebe, Busi Mhlongo and Steve Kekana while local poet Lelethu Mahambehlala will add to the line up.
