Dolphin and Wilson Shellhole perform in an evening of favourites by the Carpenters duo, whose music career spanned from 1969 through to Karen Carpenter's tragic death in 1983. Their music changed the face of recorded music by featuring complex use of melody and harmony, carried by poignant lyrics.
Both Dolphin and Campbell-Gillies are familiar to Durban audiences: Dolphin is well known for her singing voice, and appearances at numerous venues around Durban including Kloof and Highway SPCA, The Stables Lifestyle market, The Dutch Club and Golden Hours. She has also performed in many shows on the Rhumbelow stage.
Campbell-Gillies has appeared in numerous adult pantomimes, one woman shows and various cabarets staged at the Rhumbelow, as well as at the Hilton Arts Festival, with Anthony Stonier.
Songs featured in the show will include well-known Carpenters’ numbers like Top of the World, Close to You, Mr Postman, A Song for You, Rainy Days and Mondays, Sing, and many more.
A Song For You: A Carpenters Revival will be performed at the Rhumebelow Theatre at 16:00 on Sunday, 7 February 2016.
