About

Die Wasgoedlyn
Hang groot talente aan dieselfde lyn.
Geen twee Wasgoedlynkonserte is dieselfde nie. Daar is wel 'n paar konstantes: Geen opgesmuktheid, net rou, ongerepte musiek, gespeel deur die skeppers self met die hart op die mou, en voila, 'n towerwêreld van oorspronklike klank en liriek is telkemale gebore uit die niet. Vir die Vryfees is van wye oorde byeengebring: Churchil Naude (Rymkletser, Mitchell's Plain), Riku Lätti (liedjieskrywer, vervaardiger en sanger), Jackie Lätti (Sanger/Skrywer) , Elkeen 'n ster; elkeen 'n medepligtige om die ander te laat skyn. Wasgoedlyn bring immers talent na 'n omgewing met die doel om die talent in die omgewing ook aan die lyn te hang. Samewerking en verspreiding en viering van die skeppende kunste is 'n groot deel van doelwitte van die Wasgoedlyn.
Riku Lätti is nie meer 'n nuweling op die musiektoneel nie, maar in 2016 is 'n nuwe baba gebore. Verwelkom asseblief die Marktunes band. Die groep het ontstaan nadat Riku en Churchil Naude, tydens 'n opname vir Jam Sandwich in Jean “Tunes” Marais se studio in Stellenbosch vir die einste Jean ontmoet het. Riku het so pas met sy nuwe album begin en toe Jean hom uitnooi vir 'n jam sessie, het hulle die songs vir die eerste keer uitgetoets. Met die volgende sessie het Mark Ellis kom saamjam en voila! Die Marktunes band is gebore.
 
Bass
Mark Ellis started his studies in music at the age of 13, when he first learned to play the guitar. Seven years later he decided to pick up the bass guitar and it stuck. Since he started playing bass he has been the bassist for numerous groups such as Slagyster and brother & brother. Currently he is the bassist for the young folks as well as Riku Latti.
This diverse set of groups introduced him to different genres which further fueled his passion for playing the bass guitar. Mark describes the bass guitar as an instrument which opened up other dimensions of music to him and he wishes to introduce this to every aspiring bass player.
DRUMS
Jean Jacques Marais first started his musical career at the age of 12, when he co-founded his first band, Fudge. Shortly after his first steps onto the stage he replaced another drummer to become drummer for a second band as well. Over the following few years he regularly performed, and recorded three albums with the two groups Fudge and Antipathy, while using the exposure to get to grips with his chosen instrument. He played a number of big festivals such as Grahamstown Arts and Music Festival 2004, Woodstock 2004 and Ramfest 2008 and 2013 to name a few. Jean recorded two albums with recognized and independent musician, Riaan Nieuwenhuis (former Delta Blue keyboardist) and he also recently started with free lance work for both Kevin Kieswetter, who use to play for internationally recognized band, Dorp, and Riku Lätti, who needs no introduction in Afrikaans music circles.
