Matthew Mole lights up Sugar Rush

Just over 1 100 North Coast locals got to enjoy the unmistakably sweet sounds of one of South Africa’s biggest music artists last weekend.

Matthew Mole performed hits off his new album, Run, together with a few early classics like Take Yours, I’ll Take Mine and Autumn, to get the crowd singing along, up on their feet dancing and enjoying top quality entertainment at Sugar Rush park.

Local trio the Bradley Grey Band got the crowd warmed up with their Coldplay-esque covers and self-penned songs.

Bass, drums, piano and the smoothest vocals to boot; fans were treated to some stellar entertainment under the Ballito stars.

“It’s been another great year for us here in Ballito,” says Stu Berry, series director for Ballito Beats.

“We have loved bringing some of South Africa’s best musical talent to the people of Ballito. And when we say that Ballito Beats is for the whole family, we’re not kidding.”

Local youngster, Connor Skewis, celebrated his ninth birthday on Friday.

As a huge Matthew Mole fan, he begged to celebrate his party with his 10 closest friends at the concert. A ‘meet and greet’ was arranged with Matthew backstage, who serenaded Connor with a birthday song before taking to the stage.
