Sunday 27 April - Old Righteous Blues screening
We are excited to announce that the highly acclaimed Old Righteous Blues Film will be screened in Robertson on Sunday 27th of April 2025. Invite your friends and family, get your tickets and we'll see you there!
Old Righteous Blues is a truly South African film rooted in the world of the Cape Christmas Choir brigades. It’s a Romeo and Juliet story set in the Boland, a gripping drama about a community torn in two over an old feud.
Old Righteous Blues was filmed in beautiful Robertson and tells the story of Hantjie, an ambitious young man with a burning desire to become the drum major of his Christmas choir. Unfortunately, the choir’s rigid leaders who cling to the past, do not approve. To further complicate matters the love of Hantjie’s life, Risi, is the daughter of the leader of the hated opposition choir.
