Plan ahead for White Mountain
Visitors can also look forward to colourful arts and crafts, a wide variety of food outlets and a beer market.
This year’s White Mountain Festival is from 24 to 28 September and is the perfect opportunity to unwind in a stunning setting, while enjoying some of the best acoustic acts in the country.
Included on the bill are the likes of Kahn (frontman for The Parlotones), performing brand-new songs off his debut solo album, as well as Michael Lowman, Majozi and two of South Africa’s top female singer-songwriters, Laurie Levine and Josie Field, with their award-winning ‘Side by Side’ tandem show.
Also featured are American singer-songwriter Brett Newski and Australian duo Guyy & The Fox, a not-to-be-missed collaboration that brings together the Celtic influences and fierce playing style of violinist Amelia Gibson and the skill and showmanship of Guyy, a Canberra-based singer-songwriter-guitarist who holds the titles of Australian National Busking Champion and ACT Best Blues & Roots Artist for 2013.
Now in its ninth year, the festival is held at White Mountain Lodge near Giant’s Castle, just 25km off the N3 on tarred roads. With its spacious grounds, fishable dam, swimming pool and charming old pub (with satellite TV and live music), the lodge’s many amenities add another dimension to the usual festival experience.
Visitors can also look forward to colourful arts and crafts, a wide variety of food outlets and a beer market, featuring several local craft breweries – all set against a backdrop of the scenic central Drakensberg.
Tickets are available at Computicket and include camping. For more information, visit www.c-weed.com/wmf or contact 031-563-0824.
