C2 THE OAKVILLE BEAVER Wednesday, April 4, 2001 African rhythms beat against cancer Trev John will be beating the drums for can cer research this month, which is Cancer/Daf fodil Month. To complement the Canadian Cancer Soci ety's (CCS) fund-raising efforts, Trev John will be giving one concert only, on Friday, April 6 at the Oakville Centre for the Performing Arts, with net proceeds going to the Oakville unit of the CCS. "We have to do everything to help find a cure," John said. "I hope the community will come out and fill every available seat in support of cancer research." The Oakville singer's concerts last November garnered a rave review from The Oakville Beaver , which referred to John as "an excited child eager to show off a `gift', dancing around the stage, his sincerity and delight affecting not only the audi ence, but the other musicians as w ell...T he band's combined talents were amazing, from the flying fingers o f lead guitarist Leighton Matthews to the flicking wrists and amazing vocal skills of drummer Michael Shotton. The band really made the 14 songs o f John's debut CD, Standpoint, come to life." John's unique music blends the sounds of South Africa with those o f the west, focusing on the heavier rhythms that are inherent in the work ing songs o f rural South Africans, mixed with what he calls "a Pink Floyd influence". And the Oakville performer guarantees a case o f homesickness to anyone from South Africa who listens to his songs either live or on the CD. His concert this week will include musicians from bands such as Bad Company, Boston, and Dire Straits. Five dancers from Oakville's Fleming School o f Dance will also be part o f the show, as will O akville's singing group Dream, and mega musical performer and ballet dancer Astrid Sher man. Tickets are $34.99 and are available by visit ing or calling the Oakville Centre box office at 130 Navy St., 815-2021, weekdays from noon to 5 p.m. or two hours prior to a performance. John's CD, Standpoint , is available for $16.99 at HMV. For more information, contact the Oakville unit of the CCS at 845-5231.
