Amity is back for their second fundraising night, in collaboration with the Jewish-Muslim Dialogue Group. After our first successful event in March 2005, we have an evening packed with diverse musical talent, from funk to Muslim Hip Hop, with six artists confirmed and more activities on the night. Money raised will go towards the rebuilding of the Palestinian village of Yanoun, on behalf of the Ecumenical Accompaniment Programme in Palestine and Israel (EAPPI). Part of the money raised will also go towards the Lord Mayor of Nottingham’s South Asian Earthquake Appeal. The Lord Mayor will be in attendance on the night.

Back by popular demand are CAPOEIRA, with their combination of martial arts forms and rhythmic beats; ZAAC displays his unique acoustic skills once again and in-house support comes from the ever-reliable DJ Perry and Blackdrop’s MC Miller.

Headlining on the night is the popular Nottingham Funk band FAT DIGESTER, who are best known for their single “Funky Situation”, and we have a special treat in the form of MECCA 2 MEDINA, a unique Muslim Hip Hop band from London. Also on the bill we have samba rhythms from SAMBA and African drumming from TRIPLE H.

Tickets are £5.00 on the night. Arrive early! Further information and footage of the March Amity Event can be found on our web-site: www.nottingham-amity.org
