Jack Mantis, Magic Carpet Ride, Loyiso and the J&B Met

While relaxing in style at the J&B Met we were treated to music by local star performers - the Jack Mantis Band, Magic Carpet Ride, and Loyiso.

I've heard Magic Carpet Ride's music previously, and I'm sure every South African has heard Loyiso by now, and while both were great entertainment it was the two members of the Jack Mantis Band that blew us away. Their music was a chilled and laid-back mixture of blues, reggae and rock - and the perfect accompaniment to an already outstanding event.

Visit their website and take a moment to listen to a few of their tracks, or watch this YouTube music video - a love song featuring Jack's (strikingly beautiful) girlfriend whom, by chance, Kerry-Anne found herself chatting with while watching the show.
