Innibos 2021
“If we can’t hold one huge arts festival, then we bring the arts to the festival-patron in various formats and in smaller packages. It remains important for us to support artists, and to provide entertainment in a time when people need the morale booster”, says Innibos Media and Marketing Manager, Sandra Jacobs.
This is how we roll! A Partnership between Innibos, Radio Laeveld and Kyk-NET has made it possible for Innibos to host six house concerts with well-known South African artists. Two of these have already happened and there are four more to come. These concerts take place in the homes of 6 Lowveld families, who have been avid supporters of Innibos over the past 17 years. So how it works is, the host or hostess invites about 20/30 friends and family to their home to enjoy an intimate acoustic concert by the artist. The concert will be broadcast live on Radio Laeveld, which makes it possible for listeners to enjoy the show in real time and even organise their own ‘live home concert’ with their friends and fans of the artists.
6 Local Charities will benefit from donations that will be collected by the hosts of the live concerts!
Then… we roll on…
