Guy Halls was born and grew up in Zimbabwe (Rhodesia).  His early musical influence came from his home life and, at the early age of 6 years old, he started to learn guitar.  By the age of 13, and through his formative school years, he became self taught on the guitar and performed a number of times at school events.

On leaving school he embarked on a career in the British South Africa Police and found that he had very little time for performing. He resigned  after four years of service and started performing again, forming the band  Albatross with his friends Chris Beversluis (Drums/Vocals),  Gary Clark (Guitar/Vocals) and Martin Keane (Bass).  He later joined the band  Pulp  as a bassist, but within the re-organising of the band, he changed to vocals, rhythm and lead guitarist.   Pulp’s other members were Phil Heath (Guitar/vocals – deceased) Stuart Froud  (Drums)  replaced by Andy Bate (Drums – deceased) and Steve Flynn (vocals – whereabouts unknown). In between, Guy played the guitar in a number of musical stage productions for Harare Reps Theatre.

 

PULPING IT UP!

He relocated to Cape Town  in 1985 but due to his family commitments and work, it took a while to become re-established and eventually he started performing again in duos and cover bands that performed in Cape Town’s clubs, pubs and venues circuit. He became very involved in Cape Town’s music scene. He started a Jam club to bring aspiring musicians together and was also a member and committee member of the long established Barleycorn Music Club.

In 2003 Guy took his passion of Latin rhythms a step further. He put rock bands and rock music aside and focused on the warmth of the acoustic nylon guitar. Being a multi-instrumentalist, percussion, bass guitar and keyboards, he started producing home recordings of his original compositions.

Guy now resides in Salisbury, Wiltshire UK and performs as a solo musician.
