The Reals will be back at the Pietermaritzburg
Rhumbelow this weekend, 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-70’s. 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 favourites like Little Lies, 7 Wonders, Everywhere, Landslide, The Chain and then
some.
