8pm: Roly Struckmeyer & Leigh Goddard

Roly Struckmeyer and Leigh Goddard take us on a journey through the memoirs of their song writing. Some songs stick around, some fall by the wayside, some are incomplete, and some were written last week.

Leigh 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 when she was 25 years old and began her writing journey. The daughter of iconic drummer, Don Robertson (The Square Set, and Gene Rockwell & The Falcons), it becomes apparent through her song writing that rhythm is hereditary, and observation is a great teacher.

Roly Struckmeyer needs very little introduction. He is a stalwart in the industry, with two solo albums in the genre of folk/acoustic rock and an artist for multiple bands, including Butternut, and Perez.

7pm: The Fuss

The Fuss are an acoustic duo based in the Midlands, playing covers from the 60’s to today, and featuring genres from folk to pop.

Together Jes Bedingfield and Josh Strydom have been playing music for over a decade, performing with, and alongside, highly-acclaimed KZN bands at venues from Splashy Fen and White Mountain Festival, to The Vern and MiTH. Having been in the band Now A Daze together 10 years ago, the pair have reunited musically and have been performing locally for the past year.

What’s The Fuss all about? Come along and find out.
