I'd rather be dancing, a fund raising night of music and 'edu'tainment which takes its name from a Jim Page song and the words of Rachel Corrie a young peacemaker crushed by an armoured bulldozer operated by the IDF in Gaza in 2003. Raising money for medical aid.

YAABA FUNK - the UK's funkiest hilife/fusion band will have you dancing festival stylee (think Shambala, AfriKokoa, Components) , RENU HOSSAIN is a top percussionist and wait for it ... LOW KEY - the award winning rapper whose Long Live Palestine verses have won him new fans.

"Yaaba Funk rock the house every time they play. Everyone dances, laughs, has a sexy good time. Right now few bands in the UK can match these artful Brixton dodgers for pure good time groove."
Garth Cartwright, journalist/author.
