(Barry Thomson & Calli
Thomson)
Musical pun fully intended! Durban musicians Barry
Thomson (guitar and vocals) and Calli Thomson (piano and vocals) present an
intimate and funny musical show consisting of duets that they’ve sung and
played in shows and bands over the years together, as well as songs that have
influenced their lives. Enjoy entertaining stories about how things actually
happened... The show includes a couple of clever mash medleys portraying
conversations – and arguments - between couples in bands and couples in real
life, too!
Neither are strangers to the Durban music and theatre
scene, having played in many shows together at the Heritage, Barnyard, Catalina
and Elizabeth Sneddon theatres such as The
Guitar That Rocked the World, Unplugged, Johnny Plays Guitar, Forever Young,
Rock me Amadeus, La Vida and 80’s tribute show Alive and Kicking.
Barry’s shows include Taste
of Thomson and tribute shows to Dire Straits and The Eagles, The Jazz Singer (tribute to Neil
Diamond), Rock Legends, More Than a
Feeling, his solo acoustic show Up
Close and Personal and most recently Woodstock
at The Rhumbelow. Calli has been musical director, and band member of numerous
shows at the Barnyard such as Glory Days,
Rock Around the Clock, Walking in Memphis, Your Momma Don’t Dance, Celtic Rock,
