About White Mountain
 
Running from 20 to 24 September, the four-day line-up includes Watershed frontman Craig Hinds performing songs off his brand new debut solo album, as well as Cape Town singer-songwriter Matthew Mole, who recently became the first South African artist to enter the iTunes album chart at No 1, ahead of big international names like Jay Z, The Rolling Stones, Michael Buble and Robin Thicke.  Mole’s debut album ‘The Home We Built’ even managed to beat ‘Now That’s What I Call Music 64’ to the top of the chart!
 
Also on the bill are American singer-songwriter Brett Newski, popular Johannesburg duo Margaret’s Daughter, plus a strong showing of Cape Town artists such as Paige Mac, Gerald Clark, Luna Paige and Lucy Kruger.  And from KZN, expect the likes of The Kickstands, Shomon, Kaiti Faul, Zoe and the Educators, Qadasi, Hairy Legged Lentil Eaters and The Incidentals, to name a few.
 
Yet another act to watch out for is Radio Kalahari Orkes, the hugely popular ‘boere folk’ outfit fronted by actor, playwright and musician Ian Roberts, who’s probably best known for his role as ‘Boet’ in the iconic Castrol TV advertisements.  They promise irreverent, toe-tapping music that smells, tastes and sounds like the veld and is thick with the kick of mampoer!
 
A quick 25km tarred detour off the N3 towards Giant’s Castle brings you to White Mountain Lodge, which is where this gem of a festival is held.  With its spacious grounds, fishable dam, swimming pool, playground, convenience store, restaurant and charming old pub (with satellite TV and late-night live music), the lodge’s many amenities add another dimension to the usual festival experience.
 
There are also loads of fun activities for the whole family, colourful arts and crafts, a wide variety of food outlets, plus a beer market featuring several local breweries – all set against a backdrop of the scenic central Drakensberg.
 
Known for its intimate, relaxed atmosphere, White Mountain 2013 is definitely not to be missed!  Advance tickets cost R600 at Computicket, which includes four nights’ camping in a beautiful site overlooking the dam.  Children aged four to 11 pay R125 and children under four get in free.  No under 18s without parental supervision.  For more information and programme updates, visit www.c-weed.com/wmf or contact 031 563 0824.
