We begin at Middlesbrough Town Hall on 8th Feb, with Rafiki Jazz, a group of global musicians mixing roots, jazz and sweeping sufi music, creating music that crosses continents, languages and cultures…..tickets are FREE but booking is essential.
Our ever popular Mini Mela family event is back this half term, 18th February. Drop in to Gateshead Library and try out free arts, music and dance from around the world.
