Guy Buttery & Nibs van der Spuy

I studied music history with Guy... some years ago. Guy has always been a talented musician - as long as I've known him, and in Nibs van der Spuy, he has a sturdy and spectacular collaborator. Nibs and Guy will be touring Europe next month, supporting their recent album, "In the Shade of the Wild Fig".



Quoted from their site:

After more than a decade of recording and performing together, internationally renowned guitarists Nibs van der Spuy and Guy Buttery have finally released their debut collaboration album. The album showcases their mutual interest and deep love for World Music and various folk movements featuring numerous instruments such as the cuatro, mbira, tampura, sitar and various acoustic guitars.
