Treverton College - Howick High & Larry Amos

MUSIC IN THE HILLS THIS WEEK 23/08/2017 – Treverton College – Howick High & Larry Amos
Time: 7pm, entry R25, bring your own booze. Food and soft drinks are available for sale.

7Pm – 7.50pm – TREVERTON

Treverton College offers music as an extramural activity and pupils can take lessons in piano, guitar, voice or recorder. They tend to be involved in a lot of different activities and also love being on stage. The school enters pupils for ABRSM exams in piano, theory or recorder and with the guitar they mostly do Rockschool or Trinity. Most learners opt to do music in an informal way, though. There are eight Treverton learners in this year’s KZN Midlands Youth Choir, and five of them travelled to the UK with the choir during the past holidays. Several of these will be coming to MiTH this week: Vusi Fakazi and Sylvia Wu: Piano and voice; Sne Fakazi: vocal solo and duet with Vusi Fakazi; Barrie Ferreira and Tasmin Reed: piano and vocal duet; Annabelle Eedes: vocal solo; Khumo Pege: saxophone solos; Asanda Makhubo; vocal solos.

8.00pm – 9.00pm – HOWICK HIGH 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 three of its members submerge themselves in the challenges of the examination home stretch for the class of 2017. The band includes Rhiannon Reid who recently 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.

9.00pm – 10.00pm – LARRY AMOS

Widely regarded by his peers as the ‘best blues guitarist in the country’, Larry Amos is not only that… A UNIQUE and incredibly versatile talent, Larry Amos is held in highest regard by faithful fans and fellow musicians. For those of us old enough to recollect, Larry Amos was the driving force of Baxtop, an original blues-rock band from South Africa. He wrote and composed all of their songs, playing lead guitar and doing vocals. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jo4gkuhDbB0

DIRECTIONS TO MiTH: ROADWORKS ARE COMPLETE! The approach to MiTH is now safe and well-marked, so don’t let a bit of mist (or MiTHt) keep you away.
Take the N3 to Hilton, take the Hilton turnoff and go South into the Village (away from Hilton College). Travel 5,2km along Hilton Avenue (past two sets of traffic lights and Old Main Brewery) and keep going straight as Hilton Avenue turns into Dennis Shepstone Drive. At the 5,2km mark, Knoll Drive will be on your right – the entrance to MiTH is the *second* entrance on your left into The Knoll Historic Guest Farm.
