“Things are hard for many people right now so we’re pleased to be able to help a little by raising funds for this important cause with a night of varied music from the Americas to Asia and Africa!”

“Audiences are in for a treat! our February gig at the Fielden was a sell out so we’re delighted to return and join ‘Waiting for Dawn’ for a very good cause”
