    For about two months, Morné Holland and Elton November – both 27 – have busked on the train and outside various restaurants in Cape Town for audiences. But one recording, which has been shared over 100 000 times, as got their names and face recognised – all thanks to one appreciative audience member, Roeshaan Baartman.

    Talented young man. Does anyone know him

    Hailing from Ocean View, the two were then invited to perform live on Heart FM and subsequently landed a gig to perform with bassist Jonathan Rubain in his show at the Baxter Next month.

    Armed with their borrowed instruments including a microphone, an amplifier and a keyboard, both have busked in Cape Town regularly, choosing Greenmarket Square as their preferred spot.

    Holland said the journey everyday cost them R100.

    The two of us haven’t been busking for that long, only about two months.

    We take the train and then we ask restaurants very nicely if we can use their electricity to plug in our amp and mic so we can perform.

    Being on the radio and having all of those opportunities come the way they have, it’s truly by the grace of God.

    After hearing Holland sing, Wesley Moolman of Big House Studios invited the two to record original compositions.
