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.

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.
