The Great Karoo Guitar Camp

With Steve Newman and All in One

Nieu Bethesda Guitar CampOver the weekend of the 12 – 14 of July 2013, @Nieu-Bethesda is hosting the inaugural Great Karoo Guitar Camp, with Steve Newman and All In One, featuring the talents of Errol Dyers, one of the originators of the sound that has become known as Cape Jazz, and internationally renowned multi-instrumentalist, Hilton Schilder.

All in One was formed when these three South African musical icons, first shared the stage in an improvised session at the Ubuntu Festival held to celebrate the 91st birthday of Nelson Mandela in 2009.
