Fundraiser to support earthquake families – Friday March 17
A strong
and diverse line up of talent has been selected to support fund raising for the
Turkish/Syrian earthquake appeal.
This edge-of-stadium concert starts at 7.00 pm, and, says organiser
Tony Howson, everyone taking part is an energetic headliner, creating an eclectic
mix of music and spoken words.
“The music ranges from traditional Turkish drumming, to rock,
blues, jazz, folk and beatbox. The spoken word is a variation of poetry and
storytelling, some in English, others in colourful splashes of Turkish and
Kurdish language. So there will be a variation of theme and pace. But it all
works towards one thing.
“This event is designed to raise funds for the earthquake region,
so people can get help and maintain dignity after such a traumatic event. It
has cost a lot of lives, it has meant people are homeless and unable to live
normal lives. Livelihoods have been destroyed. We want people to come out of
this with dignity.”
Taking part will be:
The London Bendir Group – From Turkey, based in London, a popular group of drummers and their teacher. They do this because they love it.
The Four Feathers – Based
in South London, they play original protest music, inspired by classical,
roots, reggae and rock. Guitars, drums and bongos – what more could you want.
 | ||||||
| Four Fethers Ruth and Dave make up the popular North London duo, That Blue
Patch – More jazz, blues, roots, country sounds. Not all played at the same
time, but they make good use of Guitar, Ukulele, Irish Bouzouki, Banjo, Voice,
Saxophone, Melodica, Accordion and Percussion. Their songs go back to the 1920s
and onwards towards modern times.

----------
The pain of
Turkey and Syria’s earthquakes have shaken North London. Eighty per cent of its
Turkish-rooted community is estimated to have been directly impacted by the
shock.
Many have lost
loved ones. Many have family and friends left homeless. Overall, more than
48,000 people were killed. Millions are said to be in need of humanitarian
support.
Turkish-owned
Fieldseat organic café and shop has opened its downstairs theatre doors to a
fundraise to support the earthquake survivors.
Event organiser
Tony Howson – whose family is Turkish – said: “This event has four purposes.
The first is to continue to raise funds to help those people left homeless, so they
can survive with dignity.
“But also it is
to say thank you to all the London-based fundraisers for the work they have
done, and, to encourage them to keep on raising money and supplies that are so
urgently needed.
“Fundraising is
demanding but freely given. I think I also want this event to help those who
have been effected, those trying to do something, to share the stress they are
experiencing. And for others who are
their neighbours and friends to say we are with you.”
The event will
be help on March 17, starting at 7.00 pm.
It will feature
London duo That Blue Patch, playing jazz, blues, country and roots music; the
four-piece band Four Feathers; poet and
musician Leyla Aslan, Tony Howson, musician, poet and storyteller, and poet,
actor, children’s book writer, Felix Hodcroft. There is also an opportunity for
those who want to stand up and perform to get behind the mic.
