(Belinda Dolphin &
Karen Campbell-Gillies)
Rhumbelow Theatre Pietermaritzburg and the Allan Wilson Shellhole
will present Belinda Dolphin and Karen Campbell-Gillies on October 11 in A Song For You: A Carpenters Revival. As
they say, 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”.”
Both very familiar to Durban audiences, the duo performs
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.
Dolphin has appeared 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.
Campbell-Gillies has appeared in many adult pantomimes,
one-woman shows and various cabarets staged at the Rhumbelow, as well as at the
Hilton Arts Festival, with Anthony Stonier.
Songs featured in the show will include classic
Carpenters’ numbers like Top of the
World, Close to You, Mr Postman, A Song for You, Rainy Days and Mondays, Sing, and
many more!
Performances take place on October 11 at 14h00 and 18h30
at the Allan Wilson Shellhole in Pietermaritzburg. Tickets R120 (R100 pensioners).
