(Joseph
Clark)
Being regarded by many as the world’s
number one performer doing justice to Queen’s music, Joseph Clark will be back
in Durban after 20 years, performing his hit show Joseph Clark – The Music of Queen for four shows only at Rockwood
Theatre, Sibaya Casino and Entertainment Kingdom, from September 6 to 9.
Audiences won’t forget his powerful
performance in the unforgettable production, Queen At The Opera during the 90’s in Durban. Clark will still
thrill with his magical and individual style by taking the iconic group’s music
to another level.
Added to the sensory experience, Joseph Clark – The Music of Queen also
features a star-studded band of top local and international musicians; Axe
Lourens (lead guitars/vocals); Richard Brokensha (guitar/vocals); Kyle Petersen
(piano/keyboards/keytar/vocals); Trevor Donjeany (bass) and Marlon Witbooi (drums).
Clark and his band toured internationally
with this powerful tour de force and
played to over 30,000 Queen-fans in The Gelredome Stadium in The Netherlands in
2011 after which they followed up with European theatre runs and outdoor
concerts till November 2017.
Queen crossed all musical genres and the
line-up of songs in Joseph Clark – The
Music of Queen is like no other Queen tribute. Apart from classics like We Will Rock You, Another One Bites The
Dust, We Are The Champions, I Want To Break Free, Killer Queen, Fat Bottomed
Girls, Bicycle Race, and Bohemian
Rhapsody, they also cover songs not normally performed live, including Innuendo, You Take My Breath Away, Is This
The World We Created, Too Much Love Will Kill You, Mother Love and In My Defence.
Says Clark; “I’m not a believer in
impersonating great artists. But to pay tribute to their music, to keep it
alive and new and fresh, is the greatest compliment to their genius. I’m
thrilled to have been able to perform back-to-back in Europe, Cape Town,
Pretoria, Namibia and now Durban, before returning to The Netherlands in
November.”
