Are you an Entertainer?

Gary Deacon Duo

Location: Based in Cape Town

Biography

The Gary Deacon Duo is one of the most popular ensembles of its sort in Cape Town. Consisting of ever popular guitarist Gary Deacon, and Willie van Zyl on sax / clarinet / flute, this duo is a popular choice for background music, with an extremely wide repertoire ranging from classical and light jazzy to popular contemporary.

Should the usual full-time members not be available, the duo often performs with regular alternative performers. The duo is happy to interact with the guests, and will welcome any special requests. An added advantage is their mobile ablity to perform at virtually any location and their ability to stroll around.

With a well-established reputation of entertaining without being intrusive, the Duo is able to provide the perfect background sounds for wedding ceremonies, pre-dinner drinks and/or main events, and is also a popular entertainment option for corporate cocktail functions.

Client Feedback

I wanted to say a very special thank you for arranging the Gary Deacon Duo for us. I was so sad that the day did not allow ANY time for me to meet them personally, but everyone has commented on how fantastic they were. I must say that when we were nearby I heard them play and it was really “Music to my ears”.  They were simply marvellous and if there is ever another event I’ll be calling you again!
