NIBS & GUY@ BLUESTOCKINGS

Bluestockings in Kloof will present Nibs van der Spuy and Guy Buttery on May 25 providing an opportunity for music lovers to experience two of South Africa's finest musicians.

After over a decade of writing, recording and touring together, they have finally recorded their first collaborative album. Following a string of successful launches in South Africa, these internationally renowned guitarists will tour their brand new show at prestigious festivals and venues throughout Europe and the UK, accompanied by the release of their debut duo album In the Shade of the Wild Fig.

These two virtuosos collaborated on a series of shows in the early and mid-2000’s before their respective careers took off, both locally and internationally, with rigorous individual touring schedules. Their performing paths crossed at a major festival in Toulouse, France, and this inspired a new combination of performances and sowed the seed for doing a full length album together. 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.

Nibs van der Spuy and Guy Buttery will perform at bluestockings in Kloof on May 25 at 19h30 for 20h00. Admission R100. Booking essential on 083 659 3628.
