Come join us at Centrala for what promises to be a unique event with this double bill featuring Yazz Ahmed and Samer Rashed with their amazing bands. Both are touring with new material from their new albums but there is also a guest vocalist from Hebron performing a couple of more traditional tracks with Samer Rashed so really there is something for everyone. https://www.facebook.com/events/413809832615605/

Belinda Pyke has now returned from Occupied Palestine as an Ecumenical Accompanier - effectively a ‘human rights observer’, and will be talking about her experiences on 24th November. I'm sure that this will be a fascinating talk, so do put it in your diaries and tell anyone else who might be interested. See below for more details.
