The event was organised by the George Rotary Club, with the proceeds going towards their community projects. In Oudtshoorn, they played at the Orchards Food Market in Schoemanshoek, with the magnificent Swartberg Mountains as a backdrop – snowcapped after the freezing weather of the weekend.
They played a selection of popular jazz numbers, including Mack the Knife, Tuxedo Junction, In the Mood, and Jailhouse Rock.
