Sit back RELAX and enjoy the presentation
For those of you that have not been to an Unrehearsed Music evening yet, it is hard to imagine that something so small, tjhat had started on a veranda in Hillcrest Natal 14 years ago, with 40 very brave friends in attendance, has now grown into this super event.
For last year's line up of musicians was made up of an ageing airline pilot, an electrician, a salesman, a gutter executive, some HILL BILLY TREE EXPERTS one of whom is presently right now in the top 8 of Idols Fame (JASON HARTMAN THE GRANDFATHER OF THE BUNCH) & a few "Jack-of-all-trades" that are far too risky too mention.
It is with great pleasure that Unrehearsed is able to bring this very special music evening to Gauteng & to be able to host it at the amazing
RUSTIC THEATRE on FRIDAY 8th May 2009
The evening is supported in Durban by Corporate Companies entertaining their clients & music lovers throughout who live for 60’s type music.
One has to understand this is not a show but simply some friends of mine who are all accomplished musicians playing what we love to do best the way we believe music should be played. It is an amazing musical experience & guaranteed to please everyone. OH & it’s Unrehearsed!
