, DARGLE — FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 142 YEARS
The Dargle Valley, KwaZulu -Natal Midlands
World-renowned guitarist Guy Buttery will make his tory on the 23 May 2026 as he performs the first ever concert at St. Andrew 's Church in the Dargle Valley, a landmark occasion for both the local comm unity and South African cultural life.
Consecrated on 30 November 188 3 by Bishop Macrorie, the modest stone church was erected through the colle ctive efforts of the surrounding farming community and has stood quietly in the foothills of the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands ever since. In all that time, as best as research can determine, no formal concert has ever taken place w ithin its walls. Until now.
Guy Buttery, Standard Bank Young Artist A ward recipient, multiple SAMA winner, and one of South Africa's most celebr ated acoustic guitarists will perform alongside special guest Quintin Song, a versatile multi-instrumentalist of rare and distinctive voice. Together they will bring an afternoon of intimate, world-class music to one of the M idlands' most historic sacred spaces.
The concert promises to be a tr uly singular occasion, the ancient timbers and corrugated iron walls of St. Andrew's offering an acoustic and atmospheric setting unlike any conventio nal venue. With the Dargle Valley as its backdrop and 142 years of quiet hi story as its witness, the church will hear music for the very first time.
Seating is strictly limited and booking is essential. Find the ticket link here.
