Peach, Packed Crowds & Groot Hond Energy: A Night at Paarl Nag Uil

Last night was kak groot at Paarl Nag Uil! Me, Maryna, Jessie, Noulen, and Miguel made our way to witness Peach van Pletzen and Nax set the stage on fire. The venue was absolutely booming, packed to the brim with fans who were all there for a legheness of a performance. Vegas, the MC for the night, kept the energy high and the crowd hyped—it was a vibe from start to finish.

The Ultimate Crowd Battle

Let’s talk about getting anywhere in that place. I swear, you needed a black belt in crowd navigation just to reach the bar.

It was less of a casual stroll and more of a strategic mission, dodging elbows and squeezing through impossibly small gaps. If you made it through without spilling your drink, you basically deserved a medal.

That being said, the service was on point. Despite the chaos, the waiters kept their cool, especially Ane, who made sure we were taken care of. Friendly faces and quick service in a packed venue? That’s a win!

Photographers’ Battle Royale

As a photographer, I came prepared to get some epic shots, but I was not ready for the war zone that was the media pit. It was like a Dota 2 match—every photographer fighting for the best angle, lenses clashing like swords, and tripods marking territories.

And let’s state the obvious here: every photographer thinks they have the best spot. You’re either blocking someone’s shot or getting blocked yourself—it’s a brutal cycle. But hey, at the end of the day, we all walked away with some killer photos (and possibly a few bruises).

Peach’s Groot Hond Energy

Then came Peach van Pletzen, stepping on stage with absolute groot hond energy. The man owns the crowd like it’s his backyard, and with Nax by his side, you could see the pure joy they have for what they do.

Every beat, every lyric—it wasn’t just a performance; it was a party we were all invited to. Peach is a leghend, no doubt.

Wredekloof & The Night in Motion

Noulen also took some killer video footage of the night, capturing the madness in motion. With the Wredekloof crew always in the mix, you know the night had that extra edge of creativity and chaos.

A huge shoutout to everyone who made it such an unforgettable experience!

If you missed it, don’t worry—I’ve got the visuals to take you right back into the action.

Finding my passion for photography again—capturing moments, feeling the energy, and embracing the chaos. Nights like these remind me why I love what I do. Good music, great friends, and living life one shot at a time. Life has a way of pulling us in different directions—career changes, struggles, and moments where inspiration feels just out of reach. But standing in that packed venue, camera in hand, watching Peach pour his heart into the music, something clicked.

The connection between the artist and the crowd, the raw energy of the night—it reminded me why I fell in love with photography in the first place. I have managed to find inspiration from Noulen’s work and rediscover that part of me that I used to love

And when I sat down to edit, seeing those moments come to life, I knew I had found it again. Photography isn’t just about taking pictures; it’s about living, feeling, and sharing the moments that make life worth it.
