KNYSNA NEWS - Audiences along the Garden Route are in for a musical treat this coming Friday.
Songwriter, artist, musician and entertainer Emile Minnie and musical storyteller Auriol Hays are in town and they mean business.
These two performers, both accomplished in their respective fields, are staging a show in Sedgefield in aid of The Living Cornerstone (TLC) Alzheimer’s Homes on 23 February.
Minnie is no stranger to the Garden Route.
He has mesmerised audiences with his voice many a time.
He is a consummate performer and his repertoire includes French love songs, golden oldies and even a dash of rock 'n' roll.
His Nagmusiek album was nominated for a SAMA for best alternative Afrikaans album, he was a runner-up in the Huisgenoot/You Songwriting Competition, and he was a finalist in the World Song Contest.
Hays is the official ambassador of TLC's Alzheimer’s Homes.
Nominated for a SAMA and Mbokodo award, she spends a great amount of time, on stage and off, raising awareness around the disease and the specialised care TLC offers their residents.
Hers is an acoustic set and she will be accompanied by Keith Floyd on guitar.
