Barely moments after winning “Best Instrumental Album” at the South African Music Awards and straight off the plane from a European Festival Tour, he returned home to South Africa for a run at the National Arts Festival and won not one, but two National Awards including the Standard Bank Golden Ovation Award for the Best Music Production of the festival, out of 4600 acts.

The response Guy received for what he believes to be his most mature album to date was phenomenal.
