Iconic musical duo partner for KZN tour
The boys are back in town!
NIBS van der Spuy and Guy Buttery have shared the stage together for more than 20 years and, with increasingly rare performances due to conflicting schedules, the musical duo will take over the Westville Theatre Club on Friday, 30 April for what promises to be a showstopper.
The iconic pair are excited to kick off their first series of concerts since the pandemic in Westville.
After an eight-year silence on the recording front, Nibs and Guy have released the spell-binding live album, Live in Lisbon, and it sees their return with a stripped-down performance that is beautifully captured beside the mighty Tagus River.
This is also the duo’s first opportunity to tour their new release.

These two virtuosos collaborated on a series of shows in the early and mid-2000s before their respective solo careers took off with whirlwind individual touring schedules across the globe. Their performing paths crossed at a major festival in Toulouse, France, and this inspired a new combination of performances and sowed the seeds for recording a full length album together. “In The Shade of the Wild Fig” showcases their mutual interest and deep love for world music and different folk movements that feature numerous instruments such as the cuatro, mbira, tampura, sitar and various acoustic guitars.
Their upcoming live performances will showcase their numerous recordings as well as the collected live work that is unique to every concert.
The venue, 6 St James Avenue, will open its doors at 7pm and the show will begin at 7.30pm. The cost is R180 per person. Guests are encouraged to take their own food and drinks.
