Nibs van der Spuy and Guy Buttery live at artSPACE
Guy and Nibs kick off the year with a series of concerts around their home province.
CATCH the rare opportunity of seeing guitar maestros Nibs van der Spuy and Guy Buttery perform as a duo in a once off concert at artSPACE durban in Durban on 2 February at 7.30pm.
Having shared the stage together for more than 15 years, the internationally renowned musicians have toured major festivals and venues throughout Europe and the UK, promoting their South African Music Awards nominated album, In the Shade of the Wild Fig. The duo also won the very prestigious “Standard Bank Ovation Award” at The National Arts Festival. These accolades led to further sold out performances at numerous festivals and concert halls in both South Africa and in Europe. Van der Spuy and Buttery were invited to perform with the 52 piece KZN Philharmonic Orchestra, dubbed “Africa’s greatest orchestra” and were later voted “Top Live Show of the Year” by The Cape Times.
They have collaborated on a series of shows in the early and mid-2000’s before their respective solo careers took off with whirlwind individual touring schedules across the globe. Their performing paths crossed at a major festival in Toulouse, France, and this inspired a new combination of performances and sowed the seeds for recording a full length album together. In The Shade of the Wild Fig showcases their mutual interest and deep love for World Music and different folk movements featuring numerous instruments such as the cuatro, mbira, tampura, sitar and various acoustic guitars.
