Renishaw Hills\u2019 resident, Terry Smith, to record live concert for nation in lockdown<\/a>: <\/p>\n

\"\"As day by day, more countries go into lockdown to curb the spread of coronavirus, artists are getting innovative in their use of online spaces as a way to reach out to communities and ease anxiety during this time. South African musician, Terry Smith \u2013 a resident of Renishaw Hills on the KwaZulu-Natal South Coast \u2013 will be joining this global #athometogether movement by recording a \u2018virtual concert\u2019 that will be shared on Facebook Live on Friday, 3 April at midday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought that, in this time of isolation, everyone needs some diversion from the lockdown,\u201d explained \u2018Triffic\u2019 Terry. \u201cMost people relate to humour and music which is what I provide in a variety of forms. I had seen other artist sharing their songs, so I decided to write some humorous songs to make people smile.\u201d<\/p>\n

Playing everything from guitar and bass to harmonica and keyboard, Terry\u2019s musical genre is quite extensive and includes country, blues and rock with a splash of pop. His musical career spans from his school days where he performed in talent shows, formed rock bands and went on to win the 1967 \u2018Battle of the Bands\u2019. Playing with his band, Birds of a Feather (later changed to Asylum), Terry and his crew have kept audiences entertained with their upbeat blues and rock covers.<\/p>\n

For his latest performance, Terry will rely on his son\u2019s assistance to put together his first online show, during which he will play a number of classics to lighten the nation\u2019s mood. He\u2019s also working on a song that references his life at Renishaw Hills\u2019 estate: \u201cThe place is so idyllic with the conservancy and the sea in easy reach. Security is superb and the community is very relaxed and friendly.\u201d<\/p>\n

Terry has described the notion of his upcoming concert \u2018surreal\u2019 against the backdrop of his musical career: \u201cI\u2019ve always played to live audiences and only watched professionally-produced videos of superstars online. I had never even considered (or had the technical know-how!) putting myself on the internet. This opportunity has been a real revelation and I\u2019m learning so much as I go along.\u201d<\/p>\n

Phil Barker, managing director of Renishaw Property Developments, developers of Renishaw Hills, said this was a wonderful display of the community spirit found on the estate: \u201cThis really is a difficult time for everyone across the world, but our residents have really rallied during this time, showing magnificent support where they can and coming together through online platforms. Terry\u2019s performance will bring some light-hearted entertainment, not only to our residents, but to everyone looking for some musical escapism during the lockdown.\u201d<\/p>\n

Terry\u2019s online concert – #athometogether with Renishaw Hills – will be shared on the Renishaw Hills Facebook page \u2018Renishaw Hills \u2013 Scottburgh\u2019 Friday, 3 April. For more information, visit www.renishawhills.co.za<\/p>\n
