• Advise your security company if you are going away and ensure that you supply all the necessary information regarding key holders and emergency contacts. Also ensure that your alarm system is in good working order.

• Inform your neighbours of your holiday plans so that they can keep an eye on your property.

• Stop all newspaper deliveries and ask a friend or neighbour to collect your post. A bulging post box is a real giveaway that you are not at home.

• If you are hiring a house sitter, ensure that you teach them how to use your alarm correctly. Also advise your security company about who they are and what their contact number is.

• Double check that you have locked and secured all windows and doors before leaving home. Thunderstorms and wind can trigger false alarms.

• Ensure that all your out-buildings (garage, cottage, garden shed) are secured. Also ensure that external PIR beams are in working order and cut away excess foliage near these external beams so that false alarms are not triggered.

• Never leave a key in a door which has glass panels or glass near the door lock.

• Having security gates fitted on outer doors is a highly effective security measure that gives you an extra line of defence.

• Sliding doors can be secured simply by placing a piece of timber cut to size in the sliding rail. Make sure that sliding doors cannot be lifted vertically. Preferably have a sliding gate across the front all sliding doors.

• Full fencing and sturdy driveway gates are a good deterrent. Make sure that your gate motor and battery are also secured. You can also link your gate motor to your house alarm system.

• Have good exterior lighting, preferably on a timer or movement sensitive. Criminals do not like lighting.

• Do not leave ladders, spades or tools lying about outside as they can be used to break into your house. Do not leave other valuables in view from the road as opportunistic criminals will steal these.

• Clear signage indicating that you have a security company also helps to discourage criminals.

9pm Josh Devine & Tiaan Meyer

Josh Devine and Tiaan Meyer are a two-piece based in Durban, KZN. Having met at music college, they have combined their skills to create a setlist taking people from the 50’s with the likes of Frank Sinatra right through to contemporary tracks. Blues with Eric Clapton, reggae with Peter Tosh, and some Pink Floyd numbers to name a few! They look forward to making their way up to the cozy Howick to spend time with music and friends.

8pm Bridgitt Leahy

Bridgitt is a 22 year old acoustic indie artist. She grew up in a small town called Creighton where she was surrounded by her dad's music and his singing. This inspired her to pick up a guitar at 15 years old and play the same two chords to Sugar man by Rodriquez. Bridgitt's interest for music quickly grew into her greatest love. Today she writes her own songs and performs a mixture of covers and originals; she hopes to be releasing an alternative/ indie EP album within the next few months.

7pm The Reid Family

The Reid Family Band has been years in the making, jamming together since the kids were small. Vincent Reid has had an interest in music from a young age and is mainly self-taught. He plays keyboard, guitar and recently tin whistle. Rhiannon is just finishing matric and with the help of Kech Sanchez, she has honed her skills on guitar and sings lead vocals. Younger borther Aidan showed musical abilities from a the time he was knee-high and also sings. Tess organises the bookings and joins in on vocals and percussion, when possible. The Reid Family Band enjoys many different genres of music but are particularly influenced by Irish, Folk and Pop music.
