ONE MAN ONE CHORD The problem with being left to one's own devices is that we seldom know how these devices work.............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. Dave Ferguson's solo show, uses only harmonica, human beat-box and vocals, recording live loops and then layering and building those loops to construct a song. Nothing is pre-recorded so once a song is played it's gone... "ya know live". Doing mainly originals and some Blues/Americana and other unnexpected surprises thrown in for good measure.

BIO

Francois ‘Franki M’ Mallum is a talented young artist, an open lyricist
and an exceptional guitarist. His music is transcendent, fusing hip
hop, jazz, rock and pop. It’s something for the masses. His lyrics are
catchy, his beats are hard, and his music is in a word, unforgettable.
He has nurtured a love for music that followed him from his early
years, always singing, always keen to learn a new trick and trade.

He
first picked up a guitar 2003 and slowly taught himself how to play. He
decided to take up lessons with one of Cape Town’s most well known Jazz
Guitarists, Wayne Bosch, who taught him the more technical aspects of
playing the guitar. A year later he was introduced to a Jazz ensemble

When they all began to learn the joy of playing music
together, it quickly became a platform to vent feeling, feeling that is true,
powerful and above all sincere.

Earl Grey and Croquet – it is a mindset of music, not a self
indulged one – but one that should be shared and enjoyed, as in essence, all
that lies at the core of this band is just good people playing good songs –
with a little intensity and emotion thrown in.
