On The Road Again...

The Silver Creek

Mountain Band in

their spanking new

Combi colours...

So finally, after many weeks in the workshop, the Creekmobile made her appearance on the streets of Cradock.

This is a town that knows cars. There’s a bloke down the road from us who owns some legendary vintage vehicles. I’ve seen quite a few old Beetles chugging about as well. And once a year the Bentley People come to Cradock and park their venerables in Market Street, next to the old Tuishuise.

But the circus-coloured adapted old Combi owned by Rod Dry of the Silver Creek Mountain Band is the current eye-catcher in Cradock. We urged them to go for powder blue, but other heads prevailed and well, we’re growing to love it. I keep wanting to order candy floss from Shuggy at the back, and ask the old guy with the beard where the trained angora goats live. But never mind. It’s gonna flash across South Africa like an angry lightbulb. Soon.

The Silver Creek have hit the road for a three-month tour that takes in Bathurst, Port Elizabeth, Jeffrey’s Bay, Pretoria and the STRAB concert in Mozambique, returning for a June 11 gig at Mila’s back in Cradock.
