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.
The next event takes place on February 28, 2024.
19h00: Chris & Kaylee
Christopher and Kaylee Bester are a husband and wife team
who have come together to play music. Their chosen genres are country and
bluegrass. Christopher has been in many bands over the years and plays a
variety of instruments. Kaylee has a more classical background and has taught
music in schools.
19h45: Leigh and Roly
Leigh Goddard takes us on a journey through her memoirs of
her song-writing.
Some songs stick around, some fall by the wayside, some are
incomplete, and some were written last week.
Leigh is a songwriter across multiple genres of music; from
cinematic and folk, to hip hop and grunge. After spending years working behind
the scenes on events and as an agent for bands nationally, she picked up the
guitar for herself at 25 years old and began her writing journey. She has
played at festivals across the country to audiences that appreciate original
music.
Roly Struckmeyer, accompanying Leigh on bass, needs very little
introduction as he is a regular on the MiTH stage.
20h45: Tres
Tres is a three-piece acoustic group from Richards Bay that
is highly rated in Northern Natal. They consist of Doc Eugene Viljoen
(previously of Zwarte Piet, and Zeeroover) on guitar, Ben Visser on keyboards,
and Pedro de Mello Machado on vocals. They are all multi-instrumentalists,
which gives them a unique sound.
The trio started when Covid stopped public music
performances three years ago, so they shifted to provide a more personal music
experience for band and listeners. Their material consists of iconic covers and
original tunes.
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.
