Combine a powerhouse female bass-playing vocalist with a gruff-voiced virtuoso blues guitarist and a chameleon-esque drummer that can play (and sing) just about anything. Add some award-winning tribute shows and a touring schedule second-to-none, and the end result is professional, explosive show with top-class musicianship, in English and Afrikaans, with influences of rock, blues, pop and jazz. It’s Misery Loves Company.
For the Mandela Bay Arts Festival, audiences are spoilt for choice – one
concert is the story of tragic music legend, "Amy Winehouse -The Diva and her Demons" that unpacks the brief and impactful life of this once-in-a-generation talent, who captured the imagination of both the mainstream pop chart and lovers of the timeless soul music of yesteryear...
...or book your tickets for "Jou Ma se Platespeler", a journey through the songbook of 100 years of Afrikaans music against the backdrop of changing technology and politics in South Africa, that has been touring to national acclaim.
