Brett meets the man some call ‘The Leonard Cohen of the Karoo’ – veteran photojournalist-turned-musician Tim Hopwood. Tim has just released his moody debut album – Songs of Love and Death – after singing his song on the Eastern Cape fold circuit for many years, but we twist his arm and get him to sing some of is “funny songs” in an exclusive Live @ Tune Me What performance. Tim has also brought his box of records – including some rare gems – and he and Brett dip in to his collection and chat about his favourite South African music in this 100 minute special extended episode.
