Renowned for his beloved character Bart from 7de Laan and the various roles he has played over the past 34 years, including amongst others the TV Series' Orion and very popular Desert Rose, Neil is touring his musical performance this season. The show presents an assortment of soon to be released songs from the new album he is recording with Theo Crous at Bellville Studios, alongside
those from Die Groot 5 - EP, Die Groot Niks TV Series which he hosted and his SAMA (Beste Kontemporêre Musiek Album 2022) nominated debut album Sangoma Sandilands & Jou Pa se Posse - Maanskyn, as featured on Desert Rose. The album also leaped to Number 1 on iTunes South Africa’s charts within 24 hours.
The performance plays out musically as a poetic unfolding of storytelling in his native tongue, Afrikaans - a little bit of protest, self-deprecating humour and irony woven into a left of centre delivery with his ukulele and guitar. In its acoustic form it is truly engaging and mesmerising, having played to standing ovations at Die Boer Restaurant Teater, the Blohmhuis Theatre and The Alma Cafe and received a fantastic review from Die Burger's Arts Editor, Laetitia Pople. She wrote:
“Lirieke wat iets beteken. Daar was protes, hartstog, gatvolgeit en nog meer in sy liedjes. Mens vind vinnig aanklank en sy liefde vir die hier en nou is aansteeklik en hy torring aan die hartsnare. Met Sandilands se unieke, grinterige stem en die vol klank van instrumente was dit vir my belewenis.”
For his repertoire he has been joined by acclaimed guest artists Schalk Joubert on bass, Luna Paige on keys and back up vocals, Albert Frost on electric guitar, violinist Rayelle Goodman and percussionist Ronan Skillen.
Sandilands recently arrived back from shooting Disney's new Planet of the Apes movie in Sydney and the second season of Netflix's acclaimed TV series Sweet Tooth, produced by Warner Brothers Television, DC Entertainment and Team Downey in New Zealand so is eager to get the show out to his local audiences. The show is suited to an intimate-theatre type of setup and directed at an adult audience of 16yrs and up.
