The Cape Town Folk
‘n Acoustic Music Festival
Saturday 10 December
at the CTICC, Cape Town
18 Top South African
artists: Ard Matthews, Steve Newman,
Farryl Purkiss, Rory Eliot, Brian Finch, Guy Buttery, Christine
Weir and Julie Blundell, Janie Bay, Gavin Minter,
Louise Day, Tombstone Pete, Andrew James and Steady Tiger, John Ellis,
Diesel Vanilla, Machineri, Gary Thomas, Natasha Meister, Jack Mantis.
Real Wired Music,
the creators of Vintage Sundays and the Cape Town for Haiti
Concert, brings you another extraordinary live music experience.
Together with Eastern Acoustics, Sedgwick’s Old Brown Sherry
and Marshall Music, the Cape Town Folk
‘n Acoustic Music Festival will bring together 18 top South African
artists of this genre in a sophisticated, concert-style setting. The
line-up sees a mix of great acoustic guitarists like Steve Newman,
Gary Thomas and Guy Buttery with singer/songwriter stalwarts
like Farryl Purkiss, Rory Eliot,
Ard Matthews and Brian Finch. The look and feel of the festival
will be in the style of a 70s Folk concert –all artists will perform
solo or duo sets completely acoustically. Performances will be stripped
down to the essence of the songs – guitar and voice.
Add to all this some
blues sounds from Natasha Meister, Andrew James and
Machineri, and some folk/pop by Janie Bay
and Louise Day, and the evening is set to be an experience of
the finest musical storytelling from the personal journeys of some of
South Africa’s best songwriters and musicians.
The festival will consist
of three sets with two half-hour breaks in between. There will be a
cash bar and food stalls in the CTICC foyer.
Tickets:
Tickets are R180-00
on www.webtickets.co.za or R200-00 at the door. The first 300 seats
booked will receive a gift bag courtesy of Sedgwick’s Old Brown
Sherry.
