A multifaceted collaboration between musicians, dancers and writers, Many Half Hours crosses borders and transcends musical genres. Born out of a partnership between South Africa’s experimental music imprint Mushroom Hour Half Hour and Scotland’s The Gallow Gategallery, the aim of Many Half Hours is to bring together a wide range of artists from different backgrounds to create a new, singular piece of work that combines their respective experiences and skills.

Starting out as a vinyl based music show on internet radio, Mushroom Hour Half Hour evolved into a unique independent record label focusing on recording live, contemporary African music. Based in Johannesburg the label travels around Southern Africa recording a variety of artists in different spaces as well as curating once-off collaborations between artists from different genres and generations.
