In a farewell bid to ace guitarist Jens Koudele, Centrestage is brings a special one night only tribute to the juggernauts of the rock genre to Old Grey on Friday 16 May!
Entitled Stairway to Heaven…Highway to Hell, this show has particular sentimental value, as it also sees the group being reunited with their original bassist for the Centrestage All-Star Band and Kickass Guitar Shows, Mike McAuley, who moved to Cape Town at the beginning of 2011.
Also coming in specially from Cape Town for the one night only performance is the legendary vocalist Deon Du Toit, whose searing vocal abilities puts him into a very small group of performers in the world who can emphatically emulate the then youthful ACDC’s Brian Johnson and Zeppelin’s Robert Plant by singing their songs in their original keys without having the band drop them to a lower register!
The guitar pyrotechnics on the evening will be provided by the extraordinary Jens Koudele who originates from Germany, where he learned his dynamic interactive guitar skills copying the showmanship of ACDC guitarist Angus Young whilst performing as a member of one of Europe’s top ACDC tribute bands.
Jens formed a particularly strong bond with the Centrestage performers during his 4 year stay in South Africa, which regrettably comes to an end at the end of May when he emigrates to Brazil.
The role of ACDC’s Bon Scott is once again played by Wayne Kallis – and livewire comedian Gino Fabbri completes the lineup on drums.
Popular Led Zeppelin classics will include the likes of Black Dog, Whole Lotta Love, Kashmir and Dazed and Confused, whilst ACDC fans can look forward to Whole Lotta Rosie, Back in Black, Stiff Upper Lip, You Shook me all night long and Thunderstruck, to name a few!
