(Barry
Thomson & Calli Thomson)
Musical pun fully intended! Durban
musicians Barry Thomson (guitar and vocals) and Calli Thomson (piano and
vocals) present an intimate and funny musical show at Tina’s Hotel at Kloof
this weekend.
Thomson
Verses Thomson consists of duets that they’ve sung
and played in shows and bands over the years together, as well as songs that
have influenced their lives. Enjoy entertaining stories about how things
actually happened. The show includes a couple of clever mash medleys portraying
conversations – and arguments - between couples in bands and couples in real
life, too!
Both are no strangers to the Durban music
and theatres scene having played in many shows together at the Heritage,
Barnyard, Catalina and Sneddon theatres such as The Guitar That Rocked the World, Unplugged, Johnny Plays Guitar,
Forever Young, Rock me Amadeus, La Vida and 80’s tribute show Alive and Kicking.
