There will be many events happening at various locations around Nottingham. I will be hosting 4 nights of music at Nottingham Playhouse. I hope you can all get involved and enjoy the vibes.

Unity Nottingham Family event 2011. May 1st.

Last year I decided to create an event that would unite all my friends together. I named it 'Unity Nottingham'. I had a great turnout and feedback was very positive. So this year I decided to do it again but bigger and better than my 1st effort.

This year at Unity Nottingham there were four interactive workshops available to participate in.

These were 'Capoeira' demonstrated by my friends from Culturebox, Belly dancing demo and workshop by Malika from Bellydancingworld, Tribal drumming from Omajegba Drum leader Milla and Kizomba dancing from my good friend Ney Corte Real from Angola.


Here are some fabulous photos...

Then it was time for my 'Speed Networking' segment..which I encouraged my friends to get to know each other for 3mins then to do it all again with someone new. This went on for approx 15mins.

This was then followed by my prize raffle which included wines, chocolates, theatre tickets and meal for 2 and a bottle of wine from the venue I held the event at 'Cape bar'. My raffle raised money for Nottingham Refugee Forum.

Then it was time for some live music..starting with Folk/Reggae singer songwriter LIAM O'KANE, followed by Neo-soul sensation SAYSAY then ending with Hip Hop artist K-Classic. Music throughout the day/night was provided by Hemulen Soundz playing Afro-Funk on Vinyl.
