Summer thoughts

August will be a quiet one this year, an opportunity to recharge batteries before a great start with two concerts at Rich Mix in London. We will open the academic year on 1 September with Amaraterra with a fully Italian night and continue in the warm mediterranean vibes with Bonnendis on 10 september along with Olcay Bayir and other Middle Eastern acts, an event co-organised by Celebrate Life Events and Arts Canteen. Looking back, July was a fantastic month with three main events: a beautiful graduation ceremony at SOAS University to celebrate the end of the PhD saga, two fantastic gigs at WOMAD with Amaraterra and playing on Cambridge Folk Festival's two main stages with Världens Band. What a treat!
