A special fundraising performance of This Is The Seventies will take place at the Hexagon Dive in
Pietermaritzburg on June 15.
And they’re back! Again! For a special fundraising
performance to help fund UKZN’s entry to the Student Festival at the National
Arts Festival.
Once again this very popular show featuring those groovy
70’s songs will rock the stage. Erin Fourie, Sandra Styles, Daniel Rossouw, and
Brandon Bosch revisit their annual tribute to music of the past. It’s the
Seventies – the “Me” Decade – a period of great changes in the music scene, when
icons were made, horizons were stretched and musicians broke out of their boxes
and went where their dreams (and substances) took them!
The list of musicians reads like a veritable who’s who of
20th Century icon with names such as John Lennon, Elton John, Neil Diamond,
Carole King, Paul Simon, Jim Croce, James Taylor, Gloria Gaynor and groups like
The Rolling Stones, ABBA, Three Dog Night, Four Seasons and Creedence
Clearwater Revival all conjuring up images and memories of a seminal period of
music. This was the soundtrack of a decade. Woodstock was over, but it opened
the floodgates for a diversity of music which stretched the boundaries of Rock,
Pop, Country and Folk, and brought us to (dare we say it?) Disco!
This Is The Seventies
fundraising performance takes place on June 15 at 19h00 for 19h30 (doors open
