The next Music in the Hills (MiTH) programme at the Knoll Historic Guest Farm takes place on May 4, 2022. The programme features Tracing Circles, Rhiannon Reid and Ilan Lax with Brian Bedingfield and Roly Struckmeyer
21h00: Tracing Circles
Tracing Circles is a local trio hailing
from Good ol' Maritzburg. They have been rocking stages like Post Postino, the
Vern, Crusaders, and Robson’s to name a few. They have also played a few festivals
like Seeweed, debuted at Splashy Fen, and tore down the Tanglewood Festival.
They are definitely a band worth listening to. From the back, we have the
thunderous but laidback drummer, Patrick Austin, who will keep those feet
tapping. On bass, we have the beautiful but deadly Dev
Van Rensburg, who will keep the grooves flowing. And on the frontlines, we
have Skippy Kubheka on guitar and vocals, who will
get the good people rocking out and off their seats. Tracing Circles is
definitely looking forward to coming back home to MiTH and sharing the stage
with the other great artists.
20h00: Rhiannon Reid
Well known to MiTH from performing with the
Reid Family Band, Rhiannon Reed is a local musician, and now a published
author. Previously a student of Kech Sanchez, and a singer in the Howick High
School band, she has honed her skills on guitar and vocals over the years. For
this event she will be accompanied by her dad, Vince, who has had an interest
in music from a young age and is mainly self-taught. He plays keyboard, guitar,
and recently, tin whistle.
19h00: Ilan Lax
with Brian Bedingfield & Roly Struckmeyer
Ilan Lax has graced the Maritzburg and KZN
music scene since the 80’s with his soulful and poetic songs that reflect the
many facets and interests of his life – love and family, law and nature, and
the world in general. Lax is joined for this set of his original songs and a
few favourite covers by Pietermaritzburg legends: multi-instrumentalist Brian
Bedingfield on guitar, banjo and mandolin, and Roly Struckmeyer on bass. These
guys are having fun working together and will be a pleasure to listen to.
