One for the Angels: A Piet Botha Tribute18 July 2025 | The Daisy Jones Bar, StellenboschLimited tickets available on Quicket Doors open 17h00 | Show starts 20h00

On 18 July 2025, rock legend Piet Botha would have turned 70. And if he were still with us, chances are he’d have celebrated it the only way he knew how—on stage, guitar in hand, surrounded by those who shared his journey.

While Piet’s Strat may now be silent, his spirit continues to resonate through the music, the memories, and the people he inspired. To honour his legacy, we’re gathering for a special night at The Daisy Jones Bar, just outside Stellenbosch, for One for the Angels: A Piet Botha Tribute.Featuring the full Jack Hammer Band lineup—Johnathan Martin, Jake Gunn, Anthonie van der Walt, Paul van der Waal, and Tertius du Plessis—alongside Piet’s Lyzyrd Kyngs brothers, Akkedis, and a few very special guests, this is more than just a tribute. It’s a celebration of a life that burned bright and left a permanent mark on South African rock ’n roll.

The night takes its name from One for the Angels, a track on Jack Hammer’s most recent album. Written by Piet’s brother-in-law Raymond Smith, it was inspired by a song Piet composed during a late-night jam the two shared over a bottle of whiskey—only to forget it by morning. Piet, ever the poet, laughed it off and said it was “one for the angels.”

Join us as we raise a glass and celebrate what would have been a milestone birthday for one of South Africa’s most beloved rockers.
