From the organiser:

As part of Black History Month, join us for an evening of food, soul-stirring live performances, networking, and thought-provoking roundtable conversations.

Throughout the evening, the Ivors Academy (formerly BASCA) award-winning songwriter, composer and gospel music artist, Freddie Kofi, will be will be in conversation with his two special guests: National Windrush Generation campaigner – Rev Clive Foster MBE and Community Organiser, Researcher and Anti-Racist Practitioner – Lisa Robinson. Together with the gathered audience, we’ll discuss what Gil Scott Heron’s groundbreaking and prophetic song, The Revolution Will Not Be Televised, means to us today.

We’ll also have a fantastic performance by our local legend – Davina Songbird.

Exploring important questions and topics surrounding the urgency to eradicate injustice, social media, the desensitisation to injustice, and the positives of living in a social media-driven, post-George Floyd world?

During the night, through a live podcast conversation and live music performances, Nottingham-based MOBO Award-nominated Freddie Kofi will focus on the power of music and how we can use our music to inspire change and better chart the narrative of our stories of struggle and triumph today.

Freddie’s music is eclectic in nature, pushing creative boundaries and blurring the lines between Gospel, Classical, Folk, Jazz and popular music styles. His influences include Stevie Wonder, Sting, Tracy Chapman and The Winans. Freddie is currently developing s BACH Re-Imagined repertoire.
