HA!MAN & ANTON CAWTHORN-BLAZEBY



(Anton Cawthorn-Blazeby and HA!Man)

HA!Man and Anton Cawthorn-Blazeby will offer a special evening of spontaneous, quirky and innovative music at St Clements tomorrow (March 10).

“It has been more than two years since we were last able to perform together, and we're both really looking forward to it!,” says Cawthorn-Blazeby.

HA!Man (cello & keyboard) and Cawthorn-Blazeby (violin) have given audiences some thrilling excitements in the past and they are building on it! The two boundary-breaking acoustic performers have limited opportunity to perform in a dedicated concert together. Their respective busy schedules have created the occasion for them to play again! 

Francois the HA! Man has been travelling and performing worldwide for a number of years, pushing musical boundaries in an inspirational and spell binding way with a wide variety of styles and expression, from the United States to Eastern Europe to Asia and Africa, featuring performances with cello, keyboard, voice and dance. His music reflects his Southern African roots, and he is also noted as the composer of 'Africa - Her time has come'.

Cawthorn-Blazeby’s versatility, musical integrity and skill allow him to play across boundaries and genres with a wide variety of other musicians. His particular affinity is with quirky music with a Celtic feel, mostly expressed with Celtis, a project with musicians Ron Uken and Keri Povall. He was a founding member of seminal instrumental band, Landscape Prayers, which released four critically acclaimed albums and toured extensively during the band's lifetime.

The performance will take place tomorrow at 18h30 for 19h00 at St Clements, 191 Musgrave Road. Food and bar available. Space is limited, so booking essential on 031 202 2511. Couvert charge is R100.
