Audiences and critics lavish praise upon Windborne not only for their technical mastery, but for the passion, engagement, and connection with each other and the audience that imbues each performance with a rare power. But there’s another, crucial dimension to Windborne that guides and roots their artistry. They are adherents to folk music’s longtime alliance with social activism, labor and civil rights, and other movements that champion the oppressed, the poor, and the disenfranchised. Windborne’s dynamic harmonies breathe new life into old songs, creating an experience that is rooted by its history, but strikingly relevant to the contemporary listener.

Our event last Sunday May 31st was a great success! gave a very entertaining presentation about his adventures down the river 🛶 including some night encounters with lions 🦁 and more.
Later we all enjoyed a delicious array of bites, curried tarts, bunny chows, crunchies, malva pudding… 🥧 and some refreshing South African wine 🍷
A wonderful time was had by all!
Thank you Phil and thank you to all our local South Africans friends that contributed with their cooking.
