The festival will be an outdoor concert in a beautiful countryside setting, with a variety of food and wine stalls. Gates open 11am. Bands playing from 1pm to 7pm.
The lineup includes some of South Africa`s finest musicians. Just Jinjer fans will be happy to hear that they will be performing some brand new songs from their new forthcoming album during their set. Hemelbesem will bring his fine tuned humour and hip hop tunes, while Beatenberg will rock the crowd with their popular hits. Ottoman Slap will add an exotic flair to the festival with their Middle Eastern and Balkan music and fantastical costumes. Add to that Bootleggers` musical mojo and Swallowers of Time`s blues-rock vibes and the Camphill Village Music Festival 2015 is set to be an experience of absolute musical delight. Vision Music works with talented artists from Atlantis and the following artists from their label will also perform at this year`s festival: rappers Che-V and SillyBoi, pop and R&B singer TashnaB and pop artist Ceejay.
Camphill has provided a unique inclusive approach to life for intellectually disabled adults for over 50 years, involving them in the activities of a thriving community. Residents live and work at Camphill. They live in group homes, run by a group home leader, and work in one of the various enterprises on the premises. The enterprises consist of a dairy, a bakery, a cosmetics workshop and a working farm. Produce from the enterprises are sold to many shops and outlets in Cape Town. The revenue generated from these sales, helps to sustain the organisation. The music festival is a fundraising event to further support the Camphill Village Westcoast community.
