Weekend Argus (Saturday Edition)
Tribute to the LEGENDS
Fest pays homage to music greats, writes
much a no-brainer for me when I first experienced Tina Turner, and that’s exactly what she is… an experience,” says Barreiro-Lloyd.
“She somehow always manages to be very lady-like when kicking butt! I also squeeze in the Ramaine ‘devil-may-care’ sass in everything I do on stage, so I think that I’ve found a good balance between Ramaine Barreiro-Lloyd and the music legend, Miz Tina Turner. It will be an honour to return to Hillcrest Quarry this year to pay tribute to her again.”
Says Sean Nunan from
Music 4 The Masses: “We give our audiences a performance of all the Depeche Mode songs they remember. This band has successfully spanned 40 years with well over 100 million albums sold worldwide. We perform their songs as close as possible to the originals, having sampled most of their loops and hooks, and have even created our own dance remixes of some of the songs.”
James Marais has developed a reputation of being South Africa’s number one Elvis Presley tribute artist. Elvis has been James’s top musical inspiration since his childhood, and he has since worked on duplicating Elvis’s singing style and famous moves, as well as his iconic look. “I believe in paying a respectful tribute to Elvis with regards to all aspects of the King of Rock ‘n Roll, and try to give audiences an authentic experience,” he says.
