nominated for a SAMA (South African Music Award) for 2015
Multiple SAMA award winning acoustic guitarist Tony Cox has turned his attentions
to South African music with this his latest CD release titled Padkos; a word he uses
to describe both food for the road and music as food for the soul.
‘Consistently brilliant’ -
A homage to great South African composers, Padkos is an album packed with some of
the most well known and best-
Among the tracks on the CD are, P J Power's, Jabulani (see vid) Bright Blue's, Weeping (see vid) the old traditional Sarie Marais, Impi by Juluka and Nico Carsten's Zambezi. Mixed in there are a few new original songs and instrumentals that have been inspired and pushed out by Tony’s life experiences these last few years.
Padkos is an exceptional and unique recording and is a clear and stunning display
of skill and musical craftsmanship by one of our greatest South African guitarists.

GUITAR IN THE WOODS IV
Return to the Blues
“If you don't know the blues... there's no point in picking up the guitar and playing
rock and roll or any other form of popular music” -
“The blues is a mighty long road. Or it could be a river, one that twists and turns
and flows into a sea of limitless musical potential” -
If you’ve ever hankered after being able to lay down a blues groove and understand how to make it sound really good and authentic, now’s your chance to learn to do just that.
Guitar in the Woods is an ongoing series of workshops given by award-
The first series of Guitar in the Woods was all about the Blues and since then there have been many calls and enquiries to repeat this series. Tony has a formidable blues style and his command and expansion of the genre can clearly be heard in his original recorded works. You are guaranteed to leave these workshops with an entire new world of blues guitar playing to explore.
There are only 24 places available for these workshops so do not delay in booking your place. There were many who were disappointed at the last series of Tony's Blues workshops so the advice is to book as soon as you have read this.

This was not a professional recording, rather a chrome cassette shoved into a machine and the record button hit...I stashed it away and forgot about it. Until now
that is…
RHODES CHAPEL-
In 2009 Steve and Tony appeared in the Rhodes Chapel at the Grahamstown National Festival of the Arts. The show was recorded and filmed and some of the footage by Paul Mills can be viewed in the Cox/Newman movie above.
The audio recording of this show is superb but was never released due to the…
