What happens when you put two very musically talented ladies, namely Pam de Menezes and Christie Desfontaine, together? You get a world renown, best-selling two-woman band. Established in in 2006, The Arrows were formed out of the port city of Durban, with a combination of Indie, raw talent and a bit of South African flavour these two feisty, focused and fun women have completely re-invented pop music. These ladies have blossomed and have performed all over the world including London, Israel and, of course, our beloved South Africa. They opened for The Script on their South African tour to Cape Town and Jo’burg. I was fortunate enough to go and watch them in Cape Town and I am not over-exaggerating when I say that they were almost better than The Script themselves! I suppose it’s just the natural Durban charm.

I'm pretty sure that most of us have had a Coke in our lives? If you haven't, run, no sprint to your nearest anything - because that they will sell this thirst-quenching, sparkling phenomenon. Be grateful for that utter genius invention that John Stith Pemberton kindly gave to the world and since then you just can't seem to get away from that signature swirl. I, personally, don't think that there has ever been a colour more associated with a company or thing for a period of time as the red is with Coca-Cola. Just to you how timeless Coke truly is we've lined up a few of the vintage adverts from when they were just trying to make it big. Looks like things worked out for them.
