Join us for an evening of great live music and art, and an opportunity
to raise money to support local communities like SMLLCA and save
lives in East Africa by providing water, food and sanitation facilities.
This event is special in its vibration as it brings together individuals
supporting ethical and moral issues; it vibrates with a special music,
ranging from soothing Celtic harp sound played by Stan Ambrose to
experimental and improvised acoustic music from Graculus duet; enchanting
baritone and soprano voices such as Tayo Aluko and Oritsema Ejuoneatse,
Celtic folk inspired songs and “flamenco tinged finger picking
guitar” from poet and singer songwriter, Ade Jackson; Eastern
folk inspired and flavoured modern rhythms from Skirmish duet; flowing
and peaceful sounds from Paul Mc Dowell, “bashing bristling
blues and folk riffs together with raw” and “gentle but
powerful voices from singer songwriters” such as the unique
and talented Jo Bywater; gentle story-telling performance from the
wonderful and spiritual Bisakha Sarker and the always missed piano
sound played here by Martin Robinson.
The acoustic evening is accompanied by also,
a special art exhibition part of the abstract cycle entitled “Capturing Threads of Light”.
For the artist, Nicole Bartos, this recent cycle has become a new
experience in the way of working and welcoming the ‘Light’,
through art; it has a spiritual dimension that has inspired exhibitions
and site specific installations and audiences. Fascinated by art,
Nicole mingles metaphysical and spiritual philosophy with meditation
and pure art; by discovering an extra-sensory world, her canvases
embrace an ‘invisible’ side; she aims to paint the uncontrolled
and immaterial, the ethereal and builds in pure chromatics, flowing
energy and a concept of fusion with the ‘light’.
The art exhibition presents over 30 canvases that may be
viewed from 6.30pm- 7.30pm, before the start of the performance and
during the
break interval (8.45pm – 9.05pm).

EAST AFRICA CRISIS
" Famine, drought and conflict have left millions of people needing food,
water and healthcare. The UN says that in the last few months, tens of
thousands of Somalis have died of causes related to malnutrition. Most
of them were children. Very poor rainfall in the region (which includes
Somalia, Kenya, Djibouti, Ethiopia and Uganda) has led to the driest
period in 60 years for some areas, leading to crop failures and deaths
of livestock. .
Help us provide life-saving food, water and emergency healthcare to families
in desperate need."
