8pm: Rosie Whitfield

Out of the KZN Midlands, novice performer, singer, pianist and songwriter Rosie Whitfield started singing at a young age. She performed her first composition at the age of 12 and was instantly hooked on music. She identifies as a contemporary folk artist whose works have been influenced by artists such as Nora Jones and Celtic Women. Some of her greatest joys have been singing in the Midlands Youth Choir, where she sang on tour in Westminster Abbey for the late Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, as well as making the top ten finalists of PMB’s Got Talent.

7pm: Leigh Goddard & U C NOW

Leigh Goddard is a songwriter across multiple genres of music from cinematic to hip hop. After spending years working behind the scenes on events, and as an agent for bands nationally, she picked up the guitar for herself at the age of 25 and began her writing journey.

Leigh has had the privilege of being surrounded and inspired by some of this country’s greatest songwriters and performers of the last three decades. The daughter of iconic drummer, Don Robertson (The Square Set, and Gene Rockwell and The Falcons), and sister to Michael Goddard (Perez, and Silent Generator), it becomes apparent through her song-writing that rhythm is hereditary, and observation is a great teacher.

Leigh describes her music as “country rap cabaret”. She is joined by lifelong friends Roly Struckmeyer on bass and Adam Stanley on drums. Both musicians were members of the band Deluxe, which Leigh used to manage. Adam is an internationally-acclaimed session drummer. Having worked with the likes of Billy Corgan and many others, it is an honour to have Adam join the performance during his trip to SA from England. Roly needs no introduction to the MiTH community.
