After more than a year, Nibs van der Spuy and Guy Buttery will be performing as a duo in Gauteng for three shows only.

The musicians collaborated on a series of shows in the early and mid-2000s before their respective solo careers took off with individual touring schedules around the globe. Their performing paths crossed at a major festival in Toulouse, France, and this inspired a new combination of performances and sowed the seeds for recording a full length album together.

“In The Shade of the Wild Fig” showcases their mutual interest and deep love for world music and different folk movements featuring numerous instruments such as the cuatro, mbira, tampura, sitar and various acoustic guitars.

Their upcoming performances will showcase their numerous recordings as well as the collected live work which is unique to every concert.
