You remember these
people: Carl Perkins, Jeannie C Riley, Kim Carnes, Eddie Holman, The
BodyRockers…? Yeah, neither do we. Why? Because they had one hit number that
rocked the world, and then they faded into obscurity, to become members of that
exclusive club known as One Hit Wonders. But although we don’t remember them,
we certainly remember their songs!
That’s the message
from the Hexagon Dive in Pietermaritzburg. It’s that time of the year and the
gang is back together again for the annual December show, and they are
delighted to present a selection of the most well-known and dynamic One Hit
Wonders. Sandra Styles, Daniel Rossouw, Ryan Calder and Tammy Calder are once
again gracing the Dive stage with their amazing voices and wacky humour. They
are joined this year by guest artist, Katherine McLennand. Direction is by
Peter Mitchell.
In a tradition that
started more than 15 years ago, the annual Dive show takes a look at various
styles, genres, eras and artists and provides a fabulous relaxed evening of
good music and fun. This year’s show includes One Hit Wonders such as Lemon Tree, Lollipop, Mamy Blue, Venus,
Don’t Worry Be Happy, I Like the Way You Move, Everlasting Love, Eloise,
and many more.
The traditional
format remains: picnic evenings where patrons bring their own food, but no
drinks, as there is a cash bar. It’s time to kick back, relax and remember some
great hits and learn a little about who sang them, dragging them out of
obscurity into the spotlight once more.
One Hit Wonders has
further performances at the Hexagon Dive on the UKZN Pietermaritzburg campus
from December 15 to 17 at 19h00 for 19h30. Doors open at 18h45. Tickets R100pp (R90pp
per table of 10 or more) Bookings through hexagon@ukzn.ac.za
