We invite you to join us over the Easter Weekend for four days of sacred site tours and workshops with Michael Tellinger, as well as nightly live music from a few of South Africa’s seasoned jazz and blues artists.
Michael’s research and written work on the sacred sites in the region are legendary and he loves nothing more than sharing it all with open-minded guests.
Mike Slavin is one of South Africa’s respected blues guitarists and composers, with many global collaborations over the years.
Tellinger and Fresk are international jazz artists who recently returned to SA after almost a decade of playing throughout Europe and living in Prague.
Viwe Mkizwana is probably the most sought-after jazz bass player in the land, with many international performances under his belt and a growing portfolio of excellent work.
Neil Fishwick’s musical collaborations go back to the old Jameson’s days in Joburg where he was the rhythm backbone of The Kêrels. A percussionist and blues harp player of note, Neil is well known in the Mpumalanga region for the past three decades.
We’re also hoping to entice Michael to give us a song or five. It’s been a couple of decades since he performed.
