Serrotone Live at MiTH

9pm Serrotone

MiTH once again bids a warm welcome to main act, Serrotone. Peter Guthrie, vocalist and prolific songwriter with Spoonfeedas for 12 years, has teamed up with James Robertson and close friend, superb drummer Billy Kruger. Robertson who sang and wrote material for Spoonfeedas in 2001, also went on to form Cubic Inch. Between Guthrie and Robertson they have been part of writing and performing more than ten charting singles (including 2 no 1 singles and a handful of top 10’s) on South African radio.

With Spoonfeedas, Guthrie has opened for artists like Muse, Velvet Revolver, SImple Plan Marky Ramone (Ramones), Metallica and Ronan Keating. He has also performed the National anthem in Christchurch NZ before a Trinations rugby test. Robertson has opened for Bryan Adams on his SA tour with his band Cubic Inch, while Billy has played with a variety of established artists at some impressive events like the Youth Day concert in Amsterdam with group MIC where they performed after Delirious at Ajax Football Stadium in front of 140 000 people.

A special feature is what has become the regular inclusion of Nick Ames who is possibly one of the finest trumpet players in South Africa. Don’t miss this special night out as you hear some new arrangements of old favourites and some brand new material!

8pm Many Moore

Comprised of three gifted souls, Many Moore, though reluctant to categorize their genre of music sees “Urban Poetic Soul” as the most fitting summary of their craft. Through harmonies, lyrics and sound they relate their narratives. They have in their musical arsenal Andile Maestro Sikhakhana who, through strumming his guitar alongside his vocal ability, caresses your ears; Lindani Master Lee Dlalisa, with his flawless vocal aerobics, has a rare-but-exceptional gift, added to his jazzy guitar skills; Thulani Headship Ngcobo the rapper, is a creator, sound pilot and the brains behind a lot of the words you hear – and occasionally he hits a note or two. Together, Many Moore strives to connect audiences with fresh, enlightening music. Above all else, they not only make music so that people feel good, but they strive to make people understand their name and listen to their messages of hope and unity. Take a look here:

7pm Howick High School Rock Band

Under the tutelage of the effervescent Mark Houston, the Howick High School band has a distinguished history of having a lot of fun and making some excellent music. Covering classic pop and rock tunes and a bit of jazz, the band makes a comeback to the MiTH stage before some of its members submerge themselves in the challenges of the examination home stretch for the class of 2018. The band includes Rhiannon Reid who has performed at both MiTH and Xmas in July with her father and brother. Don’t miss what will undoubtedly be a worthwhile musical wander interspersed with Mark’s usual witticisms.
