The Bats in Potchefstroom for one night only

South Africa can boast many achievements over the last few years, and one has to be the return of a band that, exactly 40 years after its inception, is back on the road and still pulling in the crowds. Yes, The bats are well and truly back.
Thanks to the Potchefstroom Mooi Rotary Club, The Bats will be playing in Potchefstroom for one night only! Join Eckstein and the boys at the Sanlam Auditorium at 19:30 on Friday 10 June.
It all started in 1964, when The Bats, Eddie Eckstein, Paul Ditchfield, Pete Clifford and the late Barry Jarman, burst onto the local scene and became, to many ardent followers, South Africa’s answer to the Beatles. They toured the country with their music and hilarious comedy show.
More than just great musicians, they were also great entertainers, and it was this that kept them at the top of their game for 16 years.
After constant pressure from their fans to get back together again, Eddie, Paul and Pete were joined by Derek Gordon and got back on the road for what they thought would be a short ‘comeback’.
