(Richard Haslop, Will
Wallace & Mike Raftery)
If history is the story of man’s struggle for betterment,
then protest music is the soundtrack to that struggle.
Multi-instrumentalist Richard Haslop, veteran bluesman Will
Wallace and folk musician Mike Raftery join forces again at the Rhumbelow
Theatre (Tina’s) in Kloof from October 12 to 14, 2018, to present Chimes of Freedom – Songs of Protest,
Persuasion & Politics.
Whether grabbing attention, entertaining the people or
upsetting those with a guilty conscience, protest songs have always reflected
and sometimes even influenced the changing times.
Armed with seven instruments – acoustic and electric
guitars, dobro, mandolin, resonator, weissenborn and bouzouki - this unique
trio will present powerful songs - some familiar (Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen,
Paul Simon) and some that just have to be heard, ranging from the 1700’s
Jacobite rebellions to today’s Brexit headlines.
Performances take place on October 12 and 13 at 20h00 and on
October 14 at 14h00. (Venue opens 90
minutes before show for drinks)
Tickets R150 (R130
pensioners) and tables seat 6. (No alcohol or food may be brought on to the
premises). Tickets are cash or EFT only. Secure parking is available. Booking
