Welcome to my blog!

For those of you who don't know me; I'm a scatterbrained ex-journalist with a passion for music - specifically local music. My mission on Music'nStuff is to share album reviews, gig reviews, interviews, gig guides, etc. with you - with the hope that my love for music will at least rub off on some of you so we can support South African music the way it deserves to be supported.







Please feel free to contact me - and tell all your friends about Music'nStuff! After all: they say music is a universal language, so spread the word!

Beautiful, Beautiful Piano

South Africa's favourite pianist, Rocco De Villiers, does it again!



In March 2011 Rocco will release a double CD on the EMI label with the most beautiful piano music ever. This is Rocco's long-awaited big production album and by far his most beautiful.

Where were you when you heard My Heart Will Go On - the Titanic theme song - for the first time? Can you remember the theme song from the TV series Murder, She Wrote? And of course you know You Raise Me Up by Josh Groban - but have you heard it with bagpipes? Did you also cry when you saw the movie Forrest Gump?

These are just a few of the jewels on Rocco's new album. Memory from Cats, Don't Cry For Me, Argentina from Evita and I Dreamed A Dream from Les Mis are just a few of the beautiful, beautiful tunes you can look forward to! And don't forget the 8-minute ABBA medley! And what will this collection be without the classic, classic Ballade For Adeline, Sleepy Shores and The Music Box Dancer?

All this music is also now live on stage played by Rocco in a stage presentation ideal for theatre, corporate and women's events. Rocco tells all the tales that moved him to record the tracks and memoriesaround all the music since he was a little boy in the Free State.

Beautiful, beatiful - head to toe; inside out. In a world where we are constantly reminded of horror and fear, sometimes all we need is beautiful, beautiful piano music!
