Benjy left out one of the best singer-songwriters in SA. Why?
The great strength of From the Hip is that the host Benjy Mudie IS Mr Music in South Africa. Not only does he have extensive institutional knowledge, but he lived and breathed the trials and tribulations of the musicians he talks to. He doesn't interview so much as have in-depth conversations, adding his story to the narrative without ever forgetting his guest has the spotlight. Such a joy to listen to!
With his extensive background and knowledge of the SA music scene over the years, Benjy brings colour and life to those names that previously we were either vaguely aware of, or just knew the music. Insightful, entertaining and informative, great shows, great guests and as always a great host! Keep it up Benjy!!!
