Catch talented duo, Nibs and Guy, in Durban
These two internationally renowned musicians have toured many major festivals and venues throughout Europe and the UK.
HAVING shared the stage together for more than 15 years, the opportunity of catching Nibs van der Spuy and Guy Buttery performing as a duo in South Africa has become increasingly rare these days.
With their demanding schedules as solo artists and with Nibs being based six months of the year in Portugal, the duo only manages a handful of shows together a year.
However, in January and February Guy and Nibs are kicking off the year with a series of concerts around their home province of KZN including a once off concert at artSPACE durban in Durban.
These two internationally renowned musicians have toured many major festivals and venues throughout Europe and the UK in promotion of their SAMA nominated album, In the Shade of the Wild Fig.
The duo has also won the very prestigious Standard Bank Ovation Award at The National Arts Festival.
These two virtuosos collaborated on a series of shows in the early and mid-2000s before their respective solo careers took off with whirlwind individual touring schedules across the globe.
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.
The duo will perform at artSPACE durban Gallery, 3 Millar Road, Durban on Thursday, 2 February at 7:30pm. Tickets are R120 each, e-mail hello@noblecoffee.co.za.
