Hinds Brothers
Sanctuary of Love, Freedom Day Folk Music Festival…
… With Lot’s o’ Life, Love, Light ‘n Laughter
Venue - The Village of Melville, KwaZulu-Natal, South Coast, South Africa
Date & Time – Wednesday 27th April 2011 - 10am to 5pm
This Village & Community Festival of Life, Love, Light in Words & Music, aims to be a stress-free, laid-back event of note – The Sanctuary of Love is set in beautiful serene South Coast surroundings; a breath away from the majestic Banana Beach (bring your surf boards, snorkel and picnic gear) just over the old railway line; the out-door Acoustic Folk Music Festival will be complimented with a series of philosophical & spiritual discussions & talks (hosted inside the Sanctuary) that should hopefully lift your spirits and light your life with lot’s o’ love… an enlightening day, to say… the least.
The Musicians - Amongst the most prolific and outstanding SAfrican singer-songwriters around today… program below - some of them internationally acclaimed & equally successful.
The Sanctuary - There’s a host of great speakers and community leaders who will literally open - or perhaps even blow - your mind; amazing people who live & love to share their spiritual wisdom, experience and knowledge.
Before we announce the program of events, may we say that this day is a South African Freedom Day community & village Sanctuary of Love awareness & fund raising event & festival - Relax & Enjoy! (www.melvillesanctuaryoflove.co.za) – but let’s not forget those less fortunate than yourselves – so we ask you please to bring your spare / 2nd hand / old clothing, blankets etc., for Mother’s Mission & The Red Cross (who will also be in attendance on the day) to distribute to South Coast charities.
