Since first forming in 1977, Simple Minds music remains as loved and relevant today as it was then. Front-man Jim Kerr and fellow band members Charlie Burchill, Mel Gaynor, Andy Gillespie and Ged Grimes first formed the group in 1977. Since then they have committed themselves to making music that is as relevant and loved today as it was 36 years ago.

Capetonians and the Holi Festival of Colours 2013 came together to celebrate our rainbow nation and all its different colours.
The celebration of good over evil, also famously known as the Holi Festival of Colours took to Cape Town’s Sahara Park this past weekend for a spectacular showcase of colour, music and dance. Now find out how the event was after the jump. Sahara Park Newlands has seen its fair share of colourful crowds while hosting numerous domestic and international cricket matches as well as the glamorous IPL tournament in 2009. These crowds were, however, pale in comparison to the excited crowd that descended on the Sahara Park Newlands grounds on Saturday the 12th of October for the Holi Festival 2013. With the majority dressed in white, the crowd looked forward to lashings and dustings of colour powder that has made this event so popular; not only in its native India, but also internationally in vibrant cities such as Berlin and now Cape Town. DJ Kirsti set the pace for the day with a smashing set, which played into the first countdown and got the crowd so excited that colour powder was thrown earlier than scheduled. Even though the rain came and went, it did little to dampen the revelry as the majority of the crowd wouldn’t let the rain spoil the party. Every hour saw the release of another colour-cloud and cheering from those that it enveloped. There was little doubt that the crowd of three to four thousand had a fantastic time while experiencing this unique festival. The combination of colour and South Africa’s hottest live acts was the perfect combination for a memorable party. The Holi Festival is traditionally a celebration of good over evil and is celebrated as such in India. This festival also provides a rare relaxation of the cast system that segments the Indian society. Saturday saw a diverse crowd of not only Capetonians but also many international partygoers from countries such as Germany and Spain. In the true spirit of the Holi Festival, it is safe to say that everyone had great fun. Images courtesy of: Eugene Brand...
