*20h20 – TIME IN A BOTTLE (a Jim Croce tribute show preview)*
Jim Croce rose from South Philadelphia’s working‑class grit with a gift for turning ordinary lives into unforgettable songs. Years of small gigs and odd jobs finally broke open with You Don’t Mess Around with Jim in 1972. Hits like “Operator,” “Bad, Bad Leroy Brown,” and “Time in a Bottle” made him a national voice almost overnight, but a 1973 plane crash cut his life short at 30. His songs endure for their tenderness, humour, and the way they make everyday stories feel luminous.
Continuing the established tradition of local musical collaborations: Mark Manley, Brian Bedingfield, Roly Struckmeyer and Rudi Engelbrecht are planning a show on the life and music of the legendary Jim Croce. They are bringing a preview of the show to MiTH, with a selection of his favourite songs.
*19h20 – PADLANGS*
"Padlangs" brings together Korné and François in an acoustic collaboration built on songwriting, harmony and a shared passion for live music. Performing originals and selected covers in Afrikaans and English, their sound draws from country, folk, rock and alternative influences. Korné has performed since childhood, played in numerous bands and enjoyed success including a Battle of the Bands win and airplay on 5FM, while François adds energy, tasteful touches and musical sensitivity. Together, "Padlangs" creates performances where feelings are communicated through the language of music.
*19h00 – THE JINGLES*
The Jingles are a four-piece amateur band featuring Sharon, Erlo and Simon on acoustic guitar and vocals, with Oliver on bass. The group meets weekly to play many of their favourite songs from the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, spanning rock ’n’ roll, folk and country. Their repertoire includes classics by Bob Dylan, The Beatles, Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR) and Elvis Presley. The Jingles made their first public appearance on Valentine’s Day this year and have since performed at a 50th birthday celebration.
