NIBS AT BLUE STOCKINGS

Highly acclaimed solo guitarist Nic van der Spuy (aka Nibbles) returns to Kloof for a solo performance promoting his new DVD with a number of new songs. In the Christmas spirit, Nibs will give away five of his DVDs to random audience members. To match the gift, Bluestockings will give away five bottles of red wine to enjoy the movie!

Nibs van der Spuy will launch his first ever ‘Live’ DVD, Live at the Vagabond CafĂ©. Recorded over two magical nights in December 2009, this almost two-hour concert features Nibs in a beautiful intimate setting, tucked away in the luscious KwaZulu-Natal North Coast.

The first part of the DVD features Nibs playing solo with material from all his six highly-acclaimed albums, as well as good friend Farryl Purkiss who guests on a heart rendering version of Hank William’s Tramp on the Street. In the second hour, long-time drummer/percussionist Gareth Gale joins Nibs for some riveting duo interaction. Filmed up close with three cameras and the audio sound digitally captured, this is the closest you get to experience an organic Nibs van der Spuy Concert first hand. There is also a wonderful ‘Bonus’ section with an in-depth interview with Nibs and two rare archival clips featuring Guy Buttery and Piers Faccini.

Nibs will promote the DVD at Bluestockings in Kloof on December 17 at 19h30. Entry R60. Bluestockings is situated at Dan Pienaar Road, Kloof. Bookings with Narene on 083 659 3628.
