(Barry Thomson, Dawn
Selby, Mali Sewell & Jason Andrew)
Westville Country Club In association with Rhumbelow Theatre
will present Cold Fact – Rodriguez featuring
Barry Thomson and The Reals, Dawn Selby, Mali Sewell and Jason Andrew on
January 11.
Who would know that an unknown album from an unknown artist
in 1970 (Rodriguez) would become a huge phenomenon in South Africa? As big as,
say, Elvis Presley.
Rodriguez himself was never aware of his huge success, as
well as most other Americans. His music was lost in the US but, by a strange
coincidence becomes a cult hit in South Africa and a symbol of rebellion for
the underground white, anti-apartheid sub-culture.
The show will include well-remembered songs such as I Wonder, Establishment Blues and Sugar Man, amongst others.
Cold Fact – Rodriguez
will have two performances on January 11 –at 14h30 and 19h00. Tickets R120 (R100 WCC members
and pensioners) with a minimum meal option at R50 with starters and puddings as
an extra. No alcohol or food may be brought on to the premises. The venue will
open 90 minutes before show for picnic dinner).
The performances take place in the Westville Old Boys Hall, Westville
Country Club, 1 Link Road, Westville. Booking is essential via Computicket or
