Buttery and Spuy collaborate on stage once more
Book your tickets now to see Nibs van der Spuy and Guy Buttery perform at the Litchi Orchard in Salt Rock this Saturday, 18 April.
MUSOS, Guy Buttery and Nibs van der Spuy, return to the Salt Rock area for their first show in five years.
This part of the North Coast holds a special place in both their hearts as this is where their collaborative musical seeds were born. Both have been on extreme individual musical missions across many countries in the last few years, but they couldn’t ask for a better place than the Litchi Orchard in Salt Rock, 1 Seaforth Avenue, Foxhill, Umhlali to make their homecoming reunion on Saturday, 18 April at 7pm.
These two virtuosos 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. Their collaborative release, ‘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.
Their performance on Saturday will showcase their numerous recordings as well as their collected live work, which is unique to every concert. They capture the spirit of an exciting New South Africa, with its vast melting pot of influences and colour.
Guy was recently featured in the world’s biggest-selling guitar magazine, ‘Guitar Player’, which saw him performing at leading guitar festivals throughout Europe, Australia and the US. He has also received three major national awards, including the esteemed SAMA (South African Music Award) for Best Instrumental Album of the Year.
In the same vein, Nibs has become a highly-acclaimed guitarist, singer and songwriter, being featured in leading publications from France’s ‘Liberation’ to the UK’s ‘Guardian’. He is constantly touring, with his biggest support base being in France.
Tickets for their performance at the Litchi Orchard are R100 each, or R80 for pensioners and students. To book your seat, contact 032 525 5118 or 082 951 8757.
