Local acoustic musician, Farryl Purkiss, has been invited to perform with the multi-platinum, award-winning British artist, Finley Quaye, on his upcoming South African tour.
When Finley Quaye burst onto the British music scene in 1997 his debut album, “Maverick A Strike”, quickly established him as one of the few truly innovative artists around. He won the Mobo Award for Best Reggae act in 1997 and the BRIT Award for Best British Male Solo Artist in 1998. In 1997 he reached the UK Top 20 twice with "Sunday Shining", and "Even After All". “Maverick A Strike” went gold less than three weeks after its release and is now multi platinum.
Quaye is currently working on a new album with A Guy Called Gerald & The Stereo MCs.
Purkiss has recently released his second album entitled Fruitbats & Crows which has been met with critical acclaim from media and fans alike. He has spent the past 4 months touring South Africa in support of the new record.
