(Karen
Campbell-Gillies & Belinda Dolphin)
Rhumbelow Theatre DBN presents Belinda Dolphin and Karen
Campbell-Gillies in A Song For You: A
Carpenters Revival. It offers a nostalgic
look at the beautiful music of the Carpenters - music from a time when we could
hum to "every shalalala" and "whoa", and the lyrics
reflected romance, heartbreak and love.
Dolphin and Campbell-Gillies perform in a toe-tapping,
heart-warming evening of favourites by the extremely talented Carpenters duo,
whose music career spanned from 1969 through to Karen Carpenter's tragic death
in 1983. Their music forever changed the face of recorded music by featuring
complex and skilful use of melody and harmony, carried by heart-rending and
poignant lyrics.
Both performers are very familiar to Durban audiences:
Belinda is renowned for her beautiful singing voice, and appearances at
numerous venues around Durban including Kloof and Highway SPCA, The Stables
Lifestyle market, The Dutch Club and Golden Hours. She has also performed in
many shows on the Rhumbelow stage.
Karen has appeared in numerous adult pantomimes, one woman
shows and various cabarets staged at the Rhumbelow, as well as at the Hilton
Arts Festival, with Anthony Stonier.

to You, Mr Postman, A Song for You, Rainy Days and Mondays, Sing, and many
more!
