Mel Botes Brings Poets, Wine and Song to The Drama Factory

A celebration of the poets, their songs and of course paired with wine! Featuring master guitarist and songwriter, Mel Botes. Take a trip down memory lane as Mel performs a variety of old classic songs by some of his favourite poets. Be swept away by a selection of Mel's original music from his albums "David's Confession", "Flight of Bird", plus the new "River Symphony" - A symphony in progress.

The music of icons such as Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, Cat Stevens, Neil Young, Mark Knopfler, David Gilmour, Roger Waters and Rodriguez will be interpreted through the eyes, mind and voice of Mel Botes.
