Kingsley 'Greybeard' Holgate chatted around the fire. EPH Productions contributed to the setting by creating an intimate look using six Robe Robin 600s, two Martin 401s and control on a grandMA Lite. "We used the Robins, positioned on truss totems, to light the trees and to imitate the fire, creating warmth and ambience in the bush," said Andre Westraad from EPH Productions.
Kingsley has ventured through every country on the African continent and talked about his upcoming Heart of Africa Expedition, which is said to be his toughest exhibition yet. The aim is to reach the Equatorial rain forest and to reach the geographic centre point of Africa. As always it will include reaching out to communities with malaria prevention, distribution of water purification LifeStraws and spectacles for the poor sited and will hopefully encourage awareness for elephant conservation.
The Landy Festival 2015 included a display of both old and new Land Rovers, a few merchandise stores and a 4x4 course for the brave at heart.
