POPULAR Durban band The Reals performs a new show from Wednesday (August 15) until Sunday (August 18) – and good news is that this site, and The Rhumbelow Theatre, are offering a prize of a table for six people to attend the opening performance at 8pm tomorrow (August 15).
Details on how to enter the competition appear at the end of this story.
The Reals – Barry Thomson, Dawn Selby, Mali Sewell and Jason Andrew – will perform with Solomon and Chiorboli at 8pm nightly until Saturday and at 2pm on Sunday, at the Rhumbelow Theatre’s Kloof branch at Tina’s Hotel in Beryldene Road.
Twenty years have flown by since Neill Solomon and Dan Chiorboli played in their home town and there is a growing sense of anticipation around the homecoming dates at The Rhumbelow. The two have had extremely eventful lives in the musical world, from Neill’s early solo career through to Neill Solomon & The Uptown Rhythm Dogs, The Passengers and The Uptown Rhythm Collective, amongst many other projects the two have been involved with in between.
Their new project, The Liberation Project, has just released Songs That Made Us Free – South Africa / Italy / Cuba (co-produced with Phil Manzanera of Roxy Music and Pink Floyd fame). This epic triple-CD musical adventure, based on the freedom and liberation theme of the three countries, features 36 songs recorded in 20 different studios around the world, with a total of 142 musicians and groups from 18 different countries.

Following on from their sold-out concert at the Joburg Theatre commemorating Nelson Mandela’s legacy, as a finale to Africa Month, and performances at the Cape Town International Jazz Festival and Soweto International Jazz Festival, the duo is excited about coming home to seeing their old friends and perform (together with The Reals), a full spectrum of songs from their early days through to the current album.
Tickets cost R150 (R130 for pensioners), seating is at tables of six and booking is by phoning Roland at 082 499 8636.
