(Pic: Guy Buttery)
Live at the Phansi Museum in Glenwood on February 12.
One of South Africa's finest acoustic guitarists, Guy Buttery, has returned home after an extensive six week tour of the UK and Europe as well as an exclusive performance for the prince of Bahrain. Guy was invited to perform at numerous prestigious festivals throughout 2008, representing South Africa in no less than five different countries.
He also had the honour of playing alongside some of the world's greatest guitarists including the likes of Martin Simpson, Bob Brozman, Gordon Giltrap, Adrian Legg, Pierre Bensusan and many more. Buttery said "The tour was a huge success! It was really awesome to share the stage with a bunch of my heroes, but it's always good to be back on African soil and I'm really looking forward to playing to my favourite audience again."
Guy Buttery has embarked on a journey that will no doubt lead to his success as an internationally respected solo artist. With the doors opening up for him in Europe and the UK, it is no surprise that Guy has numerous international tours lined up for 2009 which will coincide with the release of his third and much anticipated album.
Guy Buttery’s performance at Phansi Museum takes place on February 12 at 19h00. Tickets R60.
