Expect the unexpected!

For all those who have asked this year's Roots and Shoots theme tune is:

Nick's Klez ..Tango Band.. Wind In The City 

This week there were some familiar a some not so familiar bands and musicians playing music as we took another journey around the globe. Paul Ubana Jones from New Zealand will be coming to our neck of the woods sometime soon. Watch ths space for details. Also The Tango Band, who play our theme tune also reresented Wales with a Tom Robinson song about street begging in the UK, an unpleasant reult of govenrment policies in the 1980s again on the increase under our present government.
And a new one from the Bootleg Swing Band as they prepare for a gig on the 31st May at the Kenn Centre, Kenford. Hope you'll be there. I will.
