MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS SOCIETY FUNDRAISER

A spectacular line up of some of Durban’s best-known artists will perform on stage free of charge to help raise funds for Multiple Sclerosis KZN on October 23. Durban’s heart throb Grant Bell will show why he is called Durban’s Michael Bublé.

Bobby Minter, known as Durban's first lady of jazz and Durban's Ella Fitzgerald, has built up a wide circle of fans as both a dance band singer and a cabaret artist.

KZN’s favourite baritone John Butler, is probably one of the best opera singers produced by the province. For many years, he was a principal baritone with NAPAC and has a host of awards to his credit.

Soprano Florence van Niekerk takes audiences through Hollywood. She has been singing professionally for 70 years and there are very few cities and towns in South Africa she has not performed in. Florence has sung on radio many times and performed with the likes of Nico Carstens, Dennis van Rooyen and the NPO (now the KZNPO).

Diva Pinky Mtshali will fill the hall with her huge personality and even bigger voice. This diva has performed throughout the world and her huge voice delights all that hear her singing
