Top SA artists at The Cape Town Folk and Acoustic Music Festival

All acoustic

The line up has a mix of great acoustic guitarists, like Steve Newman, Gary Thomas and Guy Buttery, with singer/songwriter stalwarts like Farryl Purkiss, Rory Eliot, Ard Matthews and Brian Finch. The look and feel of the festival will be in the style of a 1970s' folk concert - all artists will perform solo or duo sets completely acoustically. Performances will be stripped down to the essence of the songs - guitar and voice.

Add to all this some blues sounds from Natasha Meister and Machineri, and some folk/pop by Janie Bay, and the evening is set for an experience of musical storytelling taken from the personal journeys of some of South Africa`s finest songwriters and musicians.
