8:50 pm: The Lion & The Bear
The Lion & The Bear is a dynamic rock band with a powerful punch and a soulful groove that captivates audiences wherever they go. Comprised of Ross Meintjes, known as The Lion, and Ruben Thomas, affectionately referred to as The Bear, this duo brings a unique blend of energy, passion, and authenticity to every performance.
The Lion takes the lead as the band's charismatic lead singer and guitarist, his curly locks and infectious stage presence commanding attention from the moment he steps into the spotlight. Meanwhile, The Bear holds down the low end on bass, lends his vocals to harmonies, and even steps in as a part-time percussionist when the duo takes the stage. Completing the trio is none other than The Panther, Brendon Meintjes. As the band's drummer extraordinaire, Brendon lays down the rhythmic foundation both in the studio and on stage, bringing a dynamic energy that elevates the band's sound to new heights. And yes, The Panther and The Lion are brothers, adding an extra layer of familial chemistry to the mix.

Each chord resonates with emotion, each lyric a glimpse into their shared experiences and each song a link in the chain that is their friendship.

Ian Taylor began his musical journey when he started classical piano music at the age of 6. He had 2 years of jazz piano training and formed his first band when he was 17. This lead to him playing mainly at dance venues, including La Mirabel at the Ansonia Hotel. Then for 50-odd years, he played at various hotels on the north and south coast. Over the years, he performed in various bands, including a jazz trio that toured hotels across KwaZulu Natal, and Easybeat, which kept dancers on the dance floor.
