20h50 – The Chickpeas
Fresh from a fabulous set on the River Stage at Splashy Fen
- The Chickpeas didn’t materialise out of nowhere - they sprouted from the
fertile musical soil of the Hairy-Legged Lentil Eaters. Having grown up around
legendary local bands, toe-tapping setlists, and a community that thrives on
music, their philosophy remains simple: honour the music, surprise the
audience, and never miss an opportunity for a well-timed musical detour.
The Chickpeas have all been influenced by bands such as Incubus, Crowded House, and The Cranberries, and build their repertoire around rich, tightly-woven vocal harmonies and rhythm, reimagining well-loved favourites alongside original material.
The Chickpeas blend polished musicianship and spontaneous creativity, with a firm belief that every instrument deserves a solo. The result is a performance that feels warm and heartfelt, with just the right amount of silly. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61584057434411
19h50 – Over The Edge
Over the Edge is a four-piece contemporary band, whose
original music has diverse influences and blends pop, ska, reggae and light
rock, often with some African flavour. Kevin Duke on guitar and vocals, Mark
Misselhorn bass and vocals, Ashleigh McKenzie on keyboards and Greg Brooks on
drums. All have a long history of involvement in various bands from KZN and
Botswana. Over the Edge formed in 2021 and are based in Kloof, Durban.
19h00 – Charles
Webster (and Guests)
Sometimes you just want to sing the songs you want to sing
to an appreciative, listening audience. When that’s the case, MiTH is the place
to do it, and in this case MiTH crew member Charles Webster will be bringing
songs that give him the feels. He’ll be doing some of them solo, and for others
he’ll be joined by some of the folks he loves performing with. Expect songs
that’ll make you feel like you’re soaring, and others that’ll tug at your
heartstrings. https://www.facebook.com/charleswebstermusic
