Gig for Tibet

with

and

Nick Wyke & Becki Driscoll

The

Plough Arts Centre

Friday

26 February 8pm

Celebrate

Losar (Tibetan New Year) in the party atmosphere of the Plough

decorated with Tibetan prayer flags and hangings. You are guaranteed

a good boogie to the very popular Basil’s

Blues Band who play an

infectious mix of R & B-inflected rock. Support is provided by

the fantastic fiddle duo Nick

Wyke & Becki Driscoll

with dynamic English folk music and songs and local musicians Shelok

& Dawa Tsering and

Phuntsok

with their haunting

Tibetan music.

This

is a fund-raising gig for the Free Tibet and ROKPA charities and The

Plough. There will be a stall selling Tibetan jewellery and artefacts

and a high-quality raffle in aid of the LONGSHO project in India -

work which is run with the Dalai Lama’s blessing. The LONGSHO

project has been set up to help young Tibetans in exile to safeguard

their culture and language which is under constant threat. Donations

for the raffle will be gratefully received.

The

music will start promptly at 8pm, so get there early with your

dancing shoes on or, if you prefer, you can sit and listen and watch

the action.
