International Guitar Night to continue its tour into December

Presented by Tony Cox, International Guitar Night South Africa (IGN) Summer Series focus is on acoustic guitarists who not only play the guitar, purely instrumentally, but use their skills to provide a scintillating and multi-textured accompaniment to their voices.

Guest artist is Canadian Joel Fafard who is a perfect example of this art and brings his evocative, hilarious show to the Cape for IGN’s summer series. Local acoustic guitarist, Tony Cox has toured extensively with Fafard in Canada and says; "Joel is one of the true gents of this world, ridiculously talented, a great player, great singer, humble and so very down-to-earth… he gets all this across in his shows with the greatest of ease."

On the bill is another Canadian, Natasha Meister, who is making a name for herself in South Africa and is IGN’s first female guitarist. Acoustic guitar guru Tony Cox IGN’s creator will also perform.

International Guitar Night is a series of performances held every summer and winter to bring to our South African doorstep the world’s greatest and most accomplished acoustic guitar players of the world today. IGN’s main focus is on those players who use their right-hand fingers to individually pluck the strings creating bass, rhythm, melody and percussive lines all at the same time, like a mini-orchestra coaxed out by the fingers of the right hand.

Ticket prices range from R100 to R165 and can be booked through www.webtickets.co.za. Available tickets can also be bought at the venue on the evening.
