LINES – Debut Album Launch

Angus Hardcastle

7 February | Victoria Yards Courtyard, Johannesburg

Lines is the debut instrumental album by Angus Hardcastle. The project is rooted in groove and bass-led composition and is inspired by the work of South African bass players Carlo Mombelli, Spencer Mbadu, Sipho Gumede, Fana Zulu, Joseph Makwela, and Bhakiti Kumalo.

Each composition draws from different rhythmic and harmonic approaches found in their playing, shaping structured pieces built on strong rhythmic foundations and clear melodic development. The music is grounded in Angus’s studies of South African jazz and related traditions.

The album launch takes place in the courtyard at Victoria Yards, with drinks supplied by Primal Gin, from 5–8pm.
