uShaka Durban July Pool Party… #ushakajulypp

Published

on

Who manages to pull in a crowd that craves fun in the sun in winter? Durban does of course…uShaka managed to create the ultimate pool party experience for the holiday makers this past Durban July weekend; with the smooth jazzy sounds of Beatenberg, and melodic jives from Kuli Chana, DJ Tira, not excluding KB, Amol/ Adil and a host of other musical performances.

The event was a welcomed start to one of Durban’s most busiest and most popular weekends of the year and uShaka got both visitors and Durbanites’ swaying to the beats (pool side style). The crafty tunes coupled with the hospitable Durban culture (both from uShaka colleagues and the Department of Tourism) was a recipe of success in itself; regardless of the windy weather, the party sizzled with sparks of entertainment from all corners of the park. The hosts for the party enjoyed the screams and pleas of attention from the crowd (both young and old) most especially when there was amazing prizes up for grabs. Jumping into the pool for Pavilion Shopping Centre vouchers and special Platinum passes to uShaka was welcomed by the crowds of enthused party people. One of the main prizes, which was presented later in the evening were VIP July weekend tickets. Congrats to the lucky winners who could not be named at this time (you know who you are you lucky pool partiers!).

Metro FM certainly added a sense of cool with their stylish gear and fitted in perfectly with the scenic environment that uShaka breathes so effortlessly. Miss uShaka and Miss Teen uShaka were present smiling and interacting with the party people. Warm and hearty regards were spread by the CEO of uShaka, Stella Khumalo, maybe next time we could ask for the welcome speech to be delivered in the pool (let’s keep it Durban-cool)…

Whilst enjoying a juicy fruit cocktail I have to say that uShaka was one of the perfect settings for a pool party of this temperament, there is no better way to enjoy Proudly South African music than to do it live whilst experiencing a rush on The Drop Zone!

BUMP & GRIND at Talloula

Published

on

Durban comedy favourites Aaron McIlroy and Lisa Bobbert-McIlroy return to Talloula with their new musical comedy –  BUMP & GRIND, a high-energy musical sketch comedy that delivers a riotous mix of song, dance, quick-fire character comedy and heart. Created under the direction and choreography of Daisy Spencer, the show has already delighted audiences this festive season with its trademark MacBob mayhem and polish.

Described by Billy Suter as “a sparkly cracker of song, dance and off-the-wall humour,” BUMP & GRIND is a fast-paced, laugh-out-loud theatrical experience. The show tumbles through a helter-skelter parade of characters — from fan favourites Bruce and Charmaine, as Elvis impersonators, pensioners Beatrice and Max, and super-sage Dr Veejay, to bold new creations including AI androids, Latin dance sensations and an Irish preacher with stand-up ambitions.

The music includes numbers from Talking Heads, Lady Gaga, Elvis, The Beatles, Whitney Houston and a climactic medley of ’80s chart hits.

“It’s a vibe… Aaron and Lisa’s talent and skill lie in their seemingly effortless transformations from one character to another — and making every dance hit and ballad that character’s own!” Shannon Kenny (ArtSmart)

With broad family appeal, high energy and a proven track record of sold-out runs, don’t miss BUMP & GRIND at Talloula at the end of January!

What to Expect

NYE Summerdaze returns to Beachwood Beach for another end-of-year blowout, and if past editions are anything to go by, this one will sell out fast. Set right on the shoreline in Durban North, the event combines top-tier local DJs, a large-scale production setup and the unbeatable energy of a New Year’s Eve beach crowd.

Expect SA’s leading DJs and artists soundtracking the sunset and carrying the party straight through to midnight and beyond. The venue setup includes over 2000m² of tenting, multiple bars spread across the site, a dedicated food court and plenty of seating for when your legs need a break but the music refuses to.

For those looking to level things up, the VVIP Ocean View Deck offers a premium NYE experience with uninterrupted views, all-inclusive drinks, exclusive seating and a private bar — the kind of setup that makes waiting for midnight feel effortless.

Tickets are limited and have sold out every year, so booking early is strongly advised. If you’re planning to welcome the new year with your feet in the sand, good music in the air and Durban doing what Durban does best, this is where you want to be.

See you on the beach.
