Arguably the KZN Midlands’ best-loved music venue, Music in The Hills (MiTH) is an opportunity for beginners, professionals, and passionate music fans to share the joy of music at The Knoll Historic Guest Farm in Hilton.
19h00: Brian
Bedingfield
Ex Hairies big guy, Brian Bedingfield, presents his big
banjo extravaganza. Armed with just a humble 5-string banjo, he will try his
best to keep it interesting, with material ranging from blues to bluegrass,
traditional to country. That's pretty much all that needs to be said, except to
say: Bring your paddles.
20h00: andtheRiddle
andtheRiddle are two acoustic musicians who decided one day,
ten years ago, to use their modest talents to generate an honest income with
which to facilitate an honest, modest life. Jacky sings and plays harmonica,
ukulele, and guitar, while Dan plays guitar and mumbles backing vocals.
Together they do percussion. But that's not all – they are also
permaculture-practicing sub-subsistence homesteaders, bee-keepers, and organic
plum farmers in the star-swept Klein Karoo. They love cats and they are heavily
influenced by everything around them, and their music reflects this, amongst
other things.
21h00: Indie Dog
Indie Dog is a Jo’burg-based rock band with eclectic
influences ranging from 70’s classic rock and the 90’s grunge and funk rock
movements to modern indie, pop, and rock bands. Each member brings his own
flavour into the mix, crafting what has come to be known as the signature Indie
Dog sound. The music is created with a message in mind. Every instrument, every
lyric, every note is placed with the intention of getting that message to the
listener. Their burning passion for life translates into earworms that stay
with you long after the music has stopped.
Entrance: R50 - Cash or Zapper at the door
Doors open at 18h00 and the music will kick off at 19h00. Bring your own booze. Food and soft drinks are available for purchase.
