The Parlotones turn on the magic in Durban

The Parlotones at Durban Botanic Gardens today

Durban music fans turned up in their thousands to Durban Botanical Gardens this afternoon to see The Parlotones and support act Gangs of Ballet. Normally it rains when The Parlotones are in town but today it was perfect and they played an extended set until after the sun had gone down. Hundreds of fans gathered to meet the band in the darkness. The band played many of their hits but also included a number of new tracks from their new CD which will be out in early May.

The afternoon started off with local band Gangs of Ballet. The number of people walking around in 'Gangs of Ballet' T-shirts after their set proves how popular they are and they have a big future ahead of them.

The concerts at the Durban Botanical Gardens are proving more popular than ever. The organisation is great and having a big screen really adds to the experience. Those people who haven't been to a show recently should come and have a look. There are some really top acts lined up in the next few months. Johnny Clegg is up next on 13th May. See you there!
