The Reals will be back at the Rhumbelow for the next two
weekends, this time paying tribute to one of the world’s biggest hit-making
machines – Fleetwood Mac.
The Fleetwood Mac Story
is an episodic saga that spans more than 30 years, starting in 1967 as a
British blues band that later became a California-based pop group in the mid-70s.
In between came a period where Fleetwood Mac shuffled personnel and
experimented with styles, all the while releasing solid albums with chart
topping hits.
Perhaps just as well known for their tangled relationships
and addictions, as they were for their music, Fleetwood Mac had massive success
and can be found on every list of the world’s top selling bands.
Mixing relationships and business together can either be a
disaster or lead to success. With Fleetwood Mac, although the breakups of band
members John and Christine McVie as well as Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks
created chaos, it lead to the creation of the hit album Rumours with hit singles Go
Your Own Way, Dreams and Don’t Stop.
To date, Fleetwood Mac has sold more than 100 million albums worldwide.
The Reals, with Durban favourites Dawn Selby on the
keyboard, Barry Thomson on the guitar, Jason Andrew on the bass and Mali Sewell
on drums, will cover all the great hits of Fleetwood Mac, which will also
feature regular guest, Durban singer Marion Loudon as well as guitarist Colin
Peddie. Expect to hear all favourites such as Little Lies, 7 Wonders, Everywhere, Landslide, The Chain and more. Authentic-sounding
and always respectful, The Reals will take the audience on a sweet ride down
memory lane, replicating the sounds of one of the world’s best-loved bands.
The Fleetwood Mac Story
