Come join us in the gentle burbs of Muizenberg for a night out with two of South Africa’s most poetic musical acts. Gert Vlok Nel is the man who made beautiful words and music from a childhood in Beaufort West, and his soulful songs have been heard on stages from the Bushveld to Amsterdam. Spoken word improv-band The Buckfever Underground has been on the scene almost as long as Gert, though much more under the radar. Frontman Toast Coetzer’s lyrics will take you along dust tracks of the mind less travelled while drummer Stephen Timm and guitarist/ keyboardist Jon Savage will make the ride a memorable one. A nostalgic slide show of images by Daniël Prins (1920-2010) will accompany the music, and make the evening unique – the images, which date from roughly 1950s-1970s, have never been shown in public before. Daniël was the father of Cape Town photographer Inge Prins, in whose home this event will take place. Inge has curated her father’s images.
One unframed print by Daniël Prins (A2, hand-printed by Tony Meintjies on Hahnemühle 100% cotton rag paper) – the Muizenberg image used at the top of this event invite – will be up for silent auction on the night.
All proceeds from this night will go directly to the hospital and care fund of Drikus ‘Brixton’ Barnard. Drikus is a singer-songwriter from Pretoria, and has played in Gert’s band many times, and with his bands Trike, Plank and Brixton Moord & Roof Orkes he has also frequently toured with The Buckfever Underground. Drikus is suffering from cancer.
