First of all there is going to be a performance by an African Group called Ngomo Africa of
music, song, poetry and dance.

This will be followed by a performance of music,drama and video of Migrant Voices by Banner Theatre at 6pm, relating the experiences of Iraqi Kurdish Asylum Seekers in England.

"Banner Theatre is one of Britain’s longest established community theatre companies, with thirty years’ experience of working with marginalized and disadvantaged communities. Using a combination of theatre, music and “actuality” (recorded voices captured by video or audio), we create entertaining and thought-provoking issue-led productions based on people’s real-life experiences and in support of disenfranchised sections of society."

Is this a free event or does it cost anything to get in? If so it would be useful to know how much?

Just managed to get to this 6.00. event. A fair few were there considering Heeley Festival, Broomhill festival and free party taking place.
However, seemed to me that quite a lot of the refugees/assylum seekers present, made to leave, fairly soon after the migrant voices drama began. Any significance? I don't know. I thought that the participants were interesting, genuine and professional.
Hope it raised some money for the NRC and other refugee organisations.
