SCREAMING DOC HANSEN & NIEDIA

Multi-instrumentalist Screaming Doc Joh Hansen accompanied by the velvet voice of Niedia Prigge will perform at Emoyeni Lodge on July 3.

The Screaming Doc played bass for a four piece band in the 70’s, bass and guitar for a three piece band in the 80’s, then bass, guitar and drums. Anyway, he has put the true-one-man-band (no computers, no bugdrugs) on the backburner in favour of this exciting new doowhoa because Niedia has a voice that could soothe tigers and once she gets used to her new stage name of Goldie they’ll be on their way.

Niedia was a regular act at the DFC (Durban Folk Club) and sang professionally for several years at South Coast venues. They are polishing Niedia’s original songs to augment a repertoire that already includes standards from the golden decades, but perhaps not the ones you hear in constant heavy rotation at the tribute shows and on AOR radio. Plus a bit of fun.

Emoyeni Lodge offers a three-course Sunday lunch created by chef Matt with seasonal veggies from the organic garden (vegetarians provided for). R120pp for meal and music or for the not-so-hungry, R30 donation for the music, fresh air and good company. There will be a fully licensed cash bar.

The music runs from 12h30 to 14h30 on July 3. Booking essential for meals, call Brenda on 031 785 1740, or email reservations@emoyenilodge.com For music enquiries, call Fiona 072 822 7988.
