Description

It's a wonderful tale and insight into the history of the building, neighbourhood and venue.  The story begins with tragedy and trauma, skirts disaster and ultimately ends in the Alma magic we've come to love.   The AlmaCast - Monthly Podcast of Cape Town’s Premier Live Music Venue Good Coffee, Good Food & Good Music!
