12/08/2025

We’re proud to share this certificate of appreciation from the uMngeni Community Tourism Organisation - a reminder of how powerful things can happen when local partnerships are built on passion, purpose, and genuine collaboration.

As a community tourism association, uMngeni Tourism sets the standard for what it means to be proactive, forward-thinking, and deeply committed to growing tourism in our region. Their hard work and support play a vital role in making events like the Hilton Arts Festival possible and we’re honoured to be part of the Midlands family.

Together, we’re not just putting on a festival, we’re driving real impact through the arts, growing our local economy, and showcasing the best of what KZN has to offer!

Robin Auld Live THIS SUNDAY
Time: 3pm
Playhouse 5
BYOB. Food will be for sale on the night before the show only
Tickets: R150 via Quicket
https://www.quicket.co.za/events/320810-the-legendary-robin-auld-live-playhouse-5/ #/

Slide guitar, harmonica, African blues guitar stylings and soul vocals all feature in the fresh sound of Robin Auld. Familiar to South Africans from his hits All of Woman, Baby you been good, Perfect Day and many others, Robin Auld's music has evolved from the poprock sound of his early hits into a contemporary mix of roots and blues.

His latest album. “The Everlovin’ Wind” has had a great reception, with both singles “Underground” and “Country Mile” making the Mix Fm top ten.
Born in Lusaka, Zambia to Scots parents, Robin's childhood was spent alternating between Southern Africa and Scotland; a journey reflected in the African and celtic influences in his music. He learned to play the guitar by listening to Hendrix, Ry Cooder and Neil Young, also absorbing influences from the various guitarists of Southern Africa.
