Prime Circle Live At Graceland Secunda
Dan Patlansky
The night started off with Dan Patlansky, a blues guitarist that had everyone enthralled!
To achieve legend-status as a Blues musician at the age of 30 is almost unheard of. Enter Dan Patlansky – an artist who shares the muse that touched Hendrix, Zeppelin and Stevie Ray Vaughan. What Dan Patlansky can do with a six-string Fender Stratocaster at the age of 30, most critically acclaimed guitarists will never quite achieve in a lifetime.
Prime Circle
After a sterling performance, Dan Patlansky gave way to Ross and the band. Fresh from their very successful Evidence Reloaded Tour in Europe Prime Circle rocked Graceland!
Their set included hits from their previous albums Consider Me, Breathing, Hello, As Long as I am Here and She always gets what she wants. Songs fromt their critically acclaimed album Evidence released last year these included King for a Day, Change and Time Kills us All.
Prime Circle is made up of:
- Ross Learmonth – Vocals and Guitar
- Dale Schnettler – Drums and Backing Vocals
- Marco Gomes – Bass Guitar
- Dirk Bisschoff – Lead Guitar
- Neil Breytenbach – Keyboard.
They stormed out of the gates with their record-breaking debut album in 2003, and have followed it up with a string of massive studio albums that have secured their place as the most successful rock act in South African history.
After the show, the band took time to sign autographs and have photos with fans. This was truly a fantastic night to remember and well worth every last cent spent. A note to the band please don’t take another five years to come and visit Secunda. Here is footage taken by one of the fans.
