ABOUT

What an amazing afternoon line up of guitar genius!
Guy Buttery:
Guy's debut album, When I Grow Up..., was nominated for Best Instrumental Album of the Year and Best Newcomer for 2002 at the South African Music Awards as well as being the youngest nominee in the history of the event. In 2003, the South African Rock Digest nominated When I Grow Up... as one of the top albums of the year. Guy's 2nd release, Songs from the Cane Fields, was also nominated for Best Instrumental Album in 2006 at the South African Music Awards.

Derek Gripper:
South African guitarist Derek Gripper released his ninth album, One Night on Earth: Music from the Strings of Mali, late in 2012. Recorded at an all-night session the album magically conjures anew a centuries-old ancient African musical heritage, interpreting kora compositions (21 string harp) on solo guitar, a feat which classical guitar legend John Williams said he thought was “absolutely impossible until I heard Derek Gripper do it.” When Kora maestro Toumani Diabate heard these recordings he asked his producer Lucy Duran to confirm that she had actually seen one person play this music on just one guitar. He is not to be missed!

Shane Cooper: is a bassist, composer and producer based in Cape Town, South Africa.  His debut acoustic album Oscillations is out now on iTunes.  In 2013 he was selected as the Standard Bank Young Artist for Jazz in South Africa. In 2014 Oscillations won the South African Music Award (SAMA) for Best Jazz Album. The projects he is currently involved in are the Kyle Shepherd Trio, the Reza Khota Quartet, Skyjack, and Card On Spokes.

Wendy Oldfield: 
Wendy joined world music group Mondetta with Steve Newman, Julia Kim, Gito Baloi and Elad Neeman. They released their debut album Small World, and performed to packed houses at venues around South Africa, including the Oude Libertas Amphitheatre and Womad 2001. Wendy completed and released her fifth solo album ‘Holy Water’ toward the end of 2002. As usual, she outdid herself by writing, performing and producing an uplifting, lyrically inspiring and very beautiful album. She was nominated for a South African Music Award for Best Adult Contemporary.
