The Durban Caledonian Pipe Band and Friends present the tenth annual production of Carols and Kilts – at Shongweni Farmers Market on Saturday 26 November at 3pm, and at the DLI Hall in Greyville on Sunday 27 November at 2pm.
The much loved Carols and Kilts kick off the festive season celebrations with a blend of highland music and a medley of well-known Christmas carols and seasonal music numbers including evergreen bagpipe favourites such as Highland Cathedral and Auld Lang Syne, as well as some more contemporary favourites – such as John Farnham’s The Voice; the Gael from Last of the Mohicans and the Leonard Cohen’s masterful, Halleluiah.
The Durban Caledonian Pipe Band will be supported by musicians on electric, acoustic and bass guitar, keyboard, saxophone, drum-kit, and the noble cowbell, and guest vocalists. Among the special guests will be Garth Strydom (electric guitar); Cassie Rae (vocals); Andrew Turrel (guitar) and Bernard Kisbey-Green (saxophone).
They will be joined by dancers performing to both the Irish and Highland sets – twin sisters Samantha Wood and Melissa Alberts from Celtic Heartbeat.
The concert can be enjoyed over month end November weekend – at Shongweni Farmer’s Market on Saturday afternoon, overlooking the top of the Shongweni valley. A range of food and beverages will be available there, so no BYO food & drink.
There is a Sunday matinee at D.L.I. Hall, in the middle of the Greyville Racecourse in Durban. Round tables will be set up in the hall and picnicking is encouraged. A licensed bar will be set up in the Green Jacket Room so regretfully no BYOB. Snacks will also be available.
