(Steve Fataar)
Coming up at the Red Door this Tuesday from the Maritzburg
Musicians Club is Steve Fataar, a legend on the South African music scene, with
Byron Love opening the evening.
Steve Fataar is no stranger to Pietermaritzburg audiences.
He has been making music to hundreds of local music lovers since the early
1960's. A South African music legend he has played on four continents, touring
Europe and America, with his band the well-known Flames, alongside the Beach
Boys.
He has performed at the Royal Albert Hall with bands like Yes
and Jethro Tull, and once in the presence of Princess Margaret of the British
Royal Family. He was honoured by the Durban mayor as being a Living Treasure.
These days, Steve prefers to collaborate with musos as he
says this is 'soul satisfying'. His recent appearances with Jack Mantis (also at
the Red Door) bears testament to this ideal and was well received by the
audience.
Catch Steve (with a little help from some friends from
Pietermaritzburg) on September 30 at 20h00 at the Red Door. Tickets R40.
