INFO: 082 331 7271

ENTRANCE: R50.00 – Cash or Zapper at the Door

VENUE: The Knoll Historic Guest Farm

9pm: Mmm Band

The MMM Band is a group of talented individuals who do more than provide great service and do excellent repairs; they know how to rock. It’s a common culture for them to have jams in the shop, and this time they’re bringing the jams to the people of MiTH.

Chilled, but deadly Aidan Compton will accompany the band on bass, keeping the vibes nice and steady. Taking on the drums for this performance is Javid Govender. Lastly on guitar, bass, vocals and… other, is Skippy Kubheka who will ensure that everyone has a great time, and sings along.

8pm: Freewheelers

The Freewheelers hail from Mtunzini in Zululand. The trio consists of Vicky Erasmus, a multi-instrumentalist focused on keyboard, accordion and cello; vocalist and bass guitarist Dave Squires; and Johan Gerber on vocals, guitar, and harmonica.

They focus mainly on music from the 60’s and 70’s and cover a range of genres from folk rock and blues, to any good songs that tickle their fancy. They cover songs from Simon & Garfunkel, and Eric Clapton via Willie Nelson, all the way to Talking Heads!

7pm: Hilton Montessori (Double My Age)

The 4-piece band Double My Age started as a collective of young amateurs, led by self-taught, local “musical appreciation” coach Jes Bedingfield. It has now become more like a regular Tuesday afternoon jam.

The band, consisting of Madison Fisher on guitar and vocals, and brothers Aidan and Aaron Balfour on bass and ukulele respectively, will be accompanying Jes for their first time on stage. They will be performing a variety of folky, poppy, as well as some teenage grunge songs, for their debut at MiTH.
