MUMFORD and Sons fans should get ready for some hand clapping and foot stomping as the ‘Mumford Revolution’ hits the Guild Theatre in East London on June 13 and 14.
The bluegrass/indie rock show not only features the music of the group which has taken the charts by storm, but also features current hits from artists who have been inspired by this uplifting new music craze.
Centrestage has guest artist Guy Collins from Cape Town to front the line-up.
Collins fronts the popular Mother City band Mean Black Mamba. The bearded banjo player describes his music as “raw, foot-stomping roots music that grooves your body and soul”.
Joining Collins in the other essential element of this style is another Centrestage newcomer, local boy Nicholas Fidler, whose name-sake holds true to his instrument.
This talented music teacher rocks the fiddle in songs such as The Devil Went Down to Georgia, while Dueling Banjos also makes its obligatory appearance in the diverse line-up of material.
The newest member of the group Aston Wylie, follows up his impressive J-show debut on vocals, keyboards and guitar.
Long-time bluegrass fan Hugo Kleinhans, himself a banjo player, also revels in the opportunity to be part of this vibrant project.
“Country and bluegrass music are two of my favourite genres and I can’t wait to play these songs live with such an amazing group of musicians,” Kleinhans said.
Tiaan Uys makes his first Centrestage outing moving between T-bass, upright double bass and fretless bass and vocalist Wayne Kallis acts as musical director, while drums and the occasional unexpected comedy inserts will be provided by Gino Fabbri.
The Mumford sound is inspired by its folk, country and bluegrass roots. Aside from the Mumford hits, artists such as The Lumineers, Phillip Phillips, Avicii, One Republic and Matthew Mole all get a showing and are bound to get you off your seat.
Tickets are R120 per person or R110 per person for bookings of eight or more. Bookings through Computicket or call Wendy on 0826616921.
