20h45: Over The Edge
Over The Edge is a four-piece contemporary band whose
original music is a fusion of diverse musical influences, with a sound that is
both compelling and thought-provoking. Driving rhythms, strong melodies and
vocal harmonies provide an engaging listening experience. Pop, ska, rock and
reggae are melded, sometimes with an African flavour. Their lyrics provide
social and political commentary, leaning at times towards social protest. Kevin
is on guitar and vocals, Mark is on vocals and bass, Ashleigh is on keyboards
and vocals, and Greg is on drums. All the members have a rich history of
involvement in various bands from KwaZulu-Natal and Botswana. Over the Edge is
based in Kloof, Durban and will be bringing their unique sound to MiTH for what
promises to be a fantastic evening.

His music career began when he returned from England in 1989 to form a band
known as House On The Hill. During his career as a performer, Roly has toured
and performed with names such as Wonderboom and Landscape Prayers. He has also
featured at Splashy Fen. He worked with Syd Kitchen in the early 2000s, and
with Perez from 2001. He did a solo album in 2007, and has spent the decade and
more in cover bands – No Fly Zone, A-frame and more recently, Rustic Spring. Struckmeyer
is excited to still be playing and creating music, and to be back at MiTH.
