Barleycorn Music Club

34 years of supporting and nurturing SA’s best local and original music


The Barleycorn club was founded all the way back in 1975 when a group of musicians found it agreeable to meet regularly, learn from one another and consume beer. 

To this day the club is run by a group of unpaid volunteers and has played a defining role in the careers of some of South Africans greats such as; David Kramer (who recorded his first CD at the club there), Flat Stanley, Amapondo, Freshly Ground, Steve Newman and Tony Cox to name a few (it’s a seriously long list).

As a non-profit organisation all money raised by the club is held in a trust for the advancement and promotion of local musical talent. Each evening showcases up to four acts.

Line-up for Monday, 17 June 2013:

  • Emma du Preez & Andy Lund 
  • Myddle Earth 
  • Lucy Kruger 
  • Natasha Meister

Get there early to secure your seat. Entrance is R20p/p for members and R30p/p for non-members. Drinks and snacks are available at the club.
