8:45pm: 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.

Having been a fixture on the music scene in KwaZulu Natal since the late 80s, Pietermaritzburg-born acoustic guitarist and vocalist Roly Struckmeyer started playing the guitar at age seven. 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. Roly 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. Roly is excited to still be playing and creating music, and to be back at MiTH.
