How much:
“Don’t miss Ruby Gill (Australia / South Africa) and Mimi Gilbert (USA) as they embark on a once-in-a-lifetime, intimate tour of Mzansi this summer, bringing their award-winning alt-folk and profound poetry to an exciting series of shows in big and small places near you. Each will bring their own flawless minimalism and unforgettable lyrical honesty to the table, with protest songs, witnessing of nature, exploration of queerness and deep love for family and politics that are beloved by audiences all over the globe. Both will leave you a little changed from when you walked in the door.
The two small bodied, opinionated, light hearted, torch-carriers of song have been fast friends for many years, and will be reuniting for an intimate co-headline tour across South Africa this January and February, flying to Ruby’s homeland to celebrate her award-winning 2025 album ‘Some Kind Of Control’, new poetry book ‘I’m not exaggerating when I say’, and Mimi’s stunning new record Undrowning. More than 7 years since Ruby last sung a note back home, this experience is bound to be unforgettable - and perhaps the only rare time the two internationally-acclaimed songwriters get to share stories together and sit in on each other’s performances.”
