9pm: Angus Burns & Friends
Angus Burns makes the trip down from Newcastle for a classic rock treat in his own unique, unmissable style.
Angus is no stranger to Midlands music lovers, having spent several years as part of local heroes, The Hairy Legged Lentil Eaters, during his time in Maritzburg, as well as the band Montana Nymph.
A man of many talents, Angus is an environmental scientist by profession, contributing to our biodiversity as part of the national management team of The World Wide Fund for Nature.
A massively skillful guitarist and singer, Angus was the front man of Durban hard rock/metal band, Stoned Henge, in his early years. He will be joined on the night by Chris Palframan, Brian Bedingfield, Roly Struckmeyer, Chris Smith and guest vocalist, Martin Godfrey.
Get ready for some blues/rock classics, with a few original songs thrown in. And bring your dancing shoes!
8pm: Brian Bedingfield
Local Bob Dylan wanna-be, Brian Bedingfield has curated a one-man show all about a peculiar obsession: Who would be the next Bob Dylan?
With some research assistance from Rob Boyd, Brian dives into this subject, with its origins in 1966, when Bob Dylan was out of the public eye for a virtual nano-second. Fuelled by the weekly music industry press of the time, rumour mills were working overtime, causing fans and record execs alike to scramble about in a desperate quest to find the next Bob Dylan.
With a smattering of choice Dylan songs thrown in for good measure, the story weaves through musical contributions from the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Loudon Wainwright III, Randy Newman, and many others.
7pm: Chris and Kaylee
Kaylee and Christopher come from very different musical backgrounds. Kaylee sang in choirs and came from a more classical background. Christopher played with various bands over the years such as The Hairies, The Bandits, and The Willie Jones Boere Orkes. They have come together as a husband and wife duo to share their love of various types of music.
