Newton & Co set to entertain mountain bikers at Fedhealth MTB Challenge

Mountain biking enthusiasts will be treated to a live performance by local folk band, Newton & Co at the 5th annual Fedhealth MTB Challenge at Boschendal Farm Estate (The Retreat) on Sunday 08 September 2019.

“We first performed at this event in 2018 and it was amazing,” says Newton Theron, Frontman, Vocals & Guitar Newton & Co.  “We are very excited to be asked to perform again.  It obviously means that the riders (and supporters) enjoyed it.  On the flip side it is great because of the huge platform of people that we get our music out to.  The 2018 event was buzzing with cyclists and people from all over.  It’s great to see people enjoying healthy active lifestyles.”

“We love to share our music, and perform for as many people as possible,” continues Newton.  “We just want to come and have some fun.  We always bring a strong foundation of Irish folk music and some contemporary hits.  Who knows maybe this year we will even work in a few of our own songs.”
