Fingerstyle guitar giant Guy Buttery, described as a “one man guitar orchestra”, launched his ‘Live in KwaZulu’ shortly before Festival.
A gathering of masterworks set before a live audience, the album strongly reaffirms Guy Buttery’s unique place in the world of guitar heroes today.
Live was recorded over two nights at the University of KwaZulu-Natal and showcases Guy Buttery’s further explorations in instrumentation and innovative soundscapes.
Live in KwaZulu features, for the first time on CD, his vivid interpretation of Joanna Newsom's The Book of Right On and his much-loved musical saw classic, Smithfield, (also known as Martian Folk Song).
His life-long musical partner, Nibs van der Spuy, performs on two of the 11 tracks. Some of these can be heard in his performances in the Rhodes Chapel Friday 5 July at 11am and Saturday 6 July at 7.30pm.
