The Big Band Theory Live at Pumpkin Theatre

The Big Band Theory Live at Pumpkin Theatre

Date: 2018-06-08

The Big Band Theory - Alan Barry and Jerod Flaum first met back in 2000 at Sun City where Alan had been working for many years in the AV/Theatre department.

An aspiring guitarist Alan had worked on a few projects at Sun City.

Jerod, a Hotel GM with a hobby of playing drums coerced Alan and a few others to form a band, which they did and played a few gigs.

In 2004 Jerod moved to Ballito as GM of Zimbali Lodge, many years and various positions later, Jerod met Alan in Westbrook where both were living, as Alan had left Sun City to take a up a position with a prominent AV distribution company in KZN. Jerod had taken up playing guitar and the two decided to jam together. Alan's big influence of Pink Floyd led to the re-creation of the Wall concept. After three years and hours of preparation and rehearsal the show that emerged at the Pumpkin Theatre was launched.

The show encapsulates the Wall album, start to finish, no surprises, but with meticulous attention to lighting, the original video, and the backing track accompaniment, thanks to Alan, this was faultless.

They hope to play a few other venues in KZN, and also hope to see many more people at our shows.
