(Gary McKenzie, Grant
Bell and John Didlick)
Remember the good old days of .. ”Braaivleis, rugby, sunny
skies and....?” Well, The Gee Jays (Gary McKenzie, John Didlick and Grant Bell)
are back by popular demand, with a return season of their latest show, Don’t Tune Me – Ek Sè.
The line-up, together with the usual madcap antics of The
Gee Jays, promises to have audiences rolling in the aisles as well as
remembering what they were doing when these discs were being spun, back in the
day.
“If these songs take you back... Pretty Belinda, Yellow River, Tie a Yellow Ribbon and I Can See Clearly Now, Long Cool Woman in a
Black Dress, Rhinestone Cowboy, Let Your Love Flow and Have You Ever Seen the
Rain jog a fond memory for you (or your children), then this show is for
you. They are all the tunes we have a soft spot for – even if we never admit
it...!” says director Gary McKenzie.
Great 70’s artists like Johnny Nash, Albert Hammond, Paul
McCartney and Wings and, of course, The Village People, The Beatles, The Bee
Gees, The Bellamy Brothers and Cliff Richards, and the great Neil Diamond. Not
to mention some of the many great South African bands who made it big in the 70’s
- The Bats, Clout, Charisma, The Dealians and even Jeremy Taylor.
The Gee Jays are backed by talented musos in Andy Turrell
(guitar), Jill Murraybrown (bass), Francois Hardy (drums) and is musically
directed by Calli Thomson on keyboards.
