Barnyard gig to raise bucks for Crags kids’ fun-food-music day
Professional musician Quintin Song is hosting a fundraiser concert at Plettenberg Bays Barnyard on April 12.
All proceeds from Friday night’s gig will go towards funding a day of food and music for pupils of The Crags Primary School in Kurland Village on Wednesday, April 17.
The programme planned for this fun day includes a braai to feed all 550 Crags Primary School children, musical performances by Quinton and guest artists, dance performances by local break-dancers and a fire-dancing team, as well as an Easter egg hunt and prize giving.
The kind-hearted muso has already secured a couple of sponsors to cover some of the costs of braai wors and side dishes, ice tea, wood, and toys for the prize giving. But your attendance at The Barnyard will ensure that all bases can be covered for a most memorable event.
No local aficionados of World Music should miss the opportunity to see this talented composer, singer-songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist in the flesh. Combining an array of instruments from across the globe, Quintin’s music aims to unite cultures by using techniques and styles from genres like folk, rock, classical, jazz, ethno, African and soul.
Uplifting and energetic, the music features inspiring lyrics. Quintin has done numerous tours all over South Africa, performing at festivals, music venues and theatres, and has done three music tours through Ireland.
He has also toured India and Turkey, where he studied different ways for music to be used as a tool to touch hearts. Quintin uses 14 different instruments to paint musical landscapes, ranging from guitar and didgeridoo to more ethnical instruments like kaval, fujara, lekolilo and kalimba.
