HARRY CURTIS : THE PLEASURE OF YOUR COMPANY
The singing phenomenon that is Harry Curtis has been some time coming. Professionally a Chartered Accountant, music is in his blood and is his true passion. His music career really only started in April 2005 with a concert at Dockside, Century City, Cape Town. Two albums followed late in 2005 [tributes to David Gates and Perry Como]. More performances and concerts followed and then more albums honouring the music of Bobby Darin, Trini Lopez, Matt Munro, Dusty Springfield, Johnny Mathis, Dean Martin, Perry Como and Bing Crosby. And then more concerts and all the time the word spread and the following grew. Harry Curtis’ recently launched Bing Crosby album has done very well and this and his other albums are regularly played on Fine Music Radio.

Harry Curtis’ credo : “I have been involved in numerous fund raising events over the year and have performed at many senior citizen centres in Cape Town, mostly free of charge. These have been hugely rewarding and at times quite emotional events. I did some successful fundraising in December for Safeline – www.safeline.org.za and Village Care Centre – www.villagecc.co.za which are involved with counselling abused women and children and caring for the aged. After visiting these centres and witnessing the distressing nature of the work and the pitiful conditions in which these organisations operate, I will continue to support them whenever I can. The net proceeds of the performances at Kalk Bay will go to these two organisations. Please support this initiative by coming to the concerts and I promise you I won’t let you down regarding the performance.”

Hi Harry
After listening to your beautiful Bing Crosby album and the five CD tracks played during your interview on Fine Music Radio yesterday, I am really looking forward to seeing you perform live on stage at KBT. I’m sure the show is going to be wonderful.
Kind regards
