Harry Austin

Born in South Africa, Harry’s passion for guitar was evident at a very tender age.

He spent his youth mingling with gifted street musicians in Cape Town who have greatly influenced his path over the years to come. Harry is a versatile guitarist and a wholehearted Jazz composer.

In the late 70's, he co-founded and performed with the “Touch” band and enjoyed great national success until the mid 80's.

Following this first accomplishment, he toured and made appearances with various musicians and live bands across South Africa until he made his international debut with the “Andrew Young” band in 2002. For the next 3 years, he played with the band in numerous countries such as China, Turkey and Tunisia.

Between 2005 and 2008, he performed at Le Royal Meridien Beach Resort & SPA in Dubai. During 2009 & 2010, he appeared in various renowned venues throughout the United Arab Emirates namely at Yas Island’s F1 Race in Abu Dhabi, the Meydan Race Track in Dubai, New Year’s Eve at the Grosvenor House in Dubai, Raffle’s Fire & Ice Bar in Dubai and Hilton’s Paco’s Bar in Al Ain.
