Paula Fourie vertel in haar boek, "Mr Entertainment", die fassinerende lewensverhaal van een van ons land se mees geliefde kunstenaars: Taliep Petersen. Paula sal tydens die Jakes Gerwel-gespreksreeks op 27 April om 13:00 in die ATKV Innovasie Spasie in die Kunstekaap saam met David Kramer, Jawaahier Petersen en Marianne Thamm herinneringe deel oor Taliep se kinderjare, sy pad na roem, sy tragiese dood, en sy bydrae tot die musiekbedryf in die tyd van die vyftigerjare tot die vroeë 2000’s. Toegang is gratis, maar bespreek jou sitplek by theo@jgf.org.za
