Musical duo not to be missed

The collaboration of Ard Matthews and Arno Carstens will be seen at the Port Alfred River and Ski Boat Club on Friday, November 4, at 6pm.

The frontman of the band Just Jinjer, Matthews has been a big part of the South African music scene since 1996. As one of South Africa’s top-selling rock bands, this performer is not to be missed.

The same can be said for Carstens, whose stage presence and high-energy performances get the crowd on their feet. The rock singer first came to the public’s attention as the lead singer of the Springbok Nude Girls during the mid-90s and has since found success as a solo artist.

Besides continuing with his solo career, Carstens remains a member of the Springbok Nude Girls, who released the reunion album Peace Breaker in 2007.

Any music fan will not want to pass on this opportunity to see two of South Africa’s premiere artists collaborate on the banks of the Kowie River.

While the two headliners may be enough to get you to the venue, there is more as the concert will consist of a five-piece band with Matthews, Carstens, as well as members of the Springbok Nude Girls on trumpet and keyboards. Tickets are available on Quicket or at Sothebys Port Alfred at R200 per person.
