(Barry Thomson)
Westville Country
Club in association with Rhumbelow Theatre will present guitar maestro Barry
Thomson in an “un-plugged” salute to artists who have had a direct influence on
his life – musically and personally.
“It’s a gentle, intimate show,” he says. “I
have chosen songs that are instantly recognizable hits and some that are not …
but they all have musical or lyrical worth. The audience, hopefully, gets a
chance to know a little more about me other than seeing me as an all-out rock
guitarist.”
Thomson’s musical
menu includes many of the songs from his CD. It features the gentler side of
artists like Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler, Neil Young, The Eagles, Neil Diamond
and Jethro Tull. There is also a tribute to the Sugar Man – Rodriguez. The show
also features some of Barry’s original songs including Take It in My Stride and Walk
a Mile.
“It’s not a show
really,” he adds. ”It’s about me and a bunch of people sharing an evening of
good music together. And that’s the word. Together”.
There will be two
performances on Sunday (April 5) at 14h30 and 19h00 in the Westville Old Boys
Hall at the Westville Country Club, 1 Link Road, Westville. The venue opens 90
minutes before show for meal). Tickets R120 (R100 WCC members and pensioners). Booking

Catering by The
Venue offers a minimum meal option of R50 with starters and puddings added as
an extra. There is a full bar. (No alcohol or food may be brought on to the premises).
