My fellow AQUARIAN QUARTET compadres
Aka: The Scallywags
 Greg
Georgiades
Since the ‘70’s with Neil Soloman, Greg Hadjiyorki Georgiades
has carved a name for himself as a dazzling soloist and fine composer
in groups like Fly By Night, The Passengers, Bazaar and others.
His early interest in rock and fusion took a turn when he encountered
the acoustic guitar and a passion and understanding of World music.
Apart from playing with the AQ, he also fronts The Mutant Harmony
Trio and Strings ‘n Skins (with tabla exponent Ashish Joshi),
both of which groups have albums out on the Digital Cupboard label.
Greg lives in Pretoria, Gauteng, but does a lot of session work
in numerous studios in Johannesburg, as well as much performing
throughout the country at festivals and clubs. Aka: El Flagrante.

 Tony
Cox

Anthony Jeffrey Cox has been on the SA scene since the early to
mid-‘70’s, consistently making great music. His technical
ability is amazing to watch, and he often leaves audiences wondering
just what the heck has hit them. His right hand is like a freight
train. It starts and it goes and it goes. Tony has performed extensively
with Steve Newman over the years, as well as a host of other notables
like Errol Diaz, Carlo Mombelli and Barrie Van Zyl to name a few.
His solo albums have all been released through Sheer Sound Records,
with the last album Matabile Ants earning him the SA Music Award
for “Instrumental Album Of The Year”. He is about to
release a new album through Sheer called “China”.
Aka: Beau-gan-villia.

 Steve
Newman
Born Steven Jeffrey Roy Newman in Cape Town SA, Steve has written
a history for himself that few can equal. A consummate instrumentalist
who can uncannily pick out any tune you name, he has traveled and
traversed the length and breadth of SA plying his magic and gathering
a formidable following of loyal “Newman-ites” who turn
out to see him time and again. His work with Tananas has brought
him international recognition through their numerous appearances
around the world on WOMAD and other festivals. He is constantly
collaborating with someone or other in a fluid life that finally
seems to be bringing him the accolades and deserved success that
his talent has promised would come for so many years.
Aka: D ‘arc Canyon.
