And the live Nibs magic will be unfolding even sooner at one of London's most special acoustic venues, the home away from home for most SA acoustic acts on a visit to the UK's capital city!
November sees the launch of a purely acoustic project from one of South Africa's most talented folk storytellers, entitled Morning Star, an acoustic album which was recorded in Knysna in one day!
He is a man who spends more of his time abroad where audiences bend over backwards to experience the Nibs van der Spuy magic... Over half of his year is overseas, mostly Europe, where the Kwa-Zulu Natal guitarist has a serious following. Particularly in Italy, France and Germany! Currently on one such tour, he is playing two UK gigs before heading back to home shores where he doesn't need a jersey, nor hat.
Ahead of his Halfmoon show in south west London tomorrow night, Heather Walker, editor of The South African newspaper, chatted to the musical magician about genres, influences, upbringing and career highlights! Read the story here...
His support act is someone I've not heard of before, a Dave McMillan, and at times like these, despite sitting in the centre of the mother city - with access to all sorts of SA music - I miss these little gems of SA music in the middle of London's over-saturated all-access options! Always a treat to catch a Nibs show!
Rock on as always the amazing Nibs van der Spuy, we look forward to the new album,
