Carlou D: A Fundraising concert for FORWARD 7.30pm, Saturday 21st July

Apologies for the short notice but due to unforeseen circumstances, beyond FORWARD or Carlou D's control we regret to inform you that Carlou D will not be able to appear for the scheduled Carlou D in Conversation or the live performance at the Roundhouse on the 21st of July 2012. Carlou D and FORWARD are very sorry that he cannot attend and send apologies to all of Carlou D's and FORWARD's supporters.

The line-up has been modified and now includes:

• Sura (Surahata) Susso, a master of the Kora (African Harp) from Gambia. Sura has performed with great artists such as Sekou Keita and Baaba Maal. With his solo album ˜Sila Kang" under his belt Sura now travels the world sharing the beauty of his Kora playing and FORWARD is excited and honored to have him join us for our fundraising concert.

AND

• Atongo Zimba, a sensational singer and koliko/molo player (two-stringed calabash lute) from Bolgatanga in Northern Ghana. He sings in Frafra, Pidgin English, Hausa, Twi and Ga. He has graced the stage as the opening act for Fela Kuti. He has also performed Manu Dibango, Hugh Masekela, Francis Fuster, Angelique Kidjo to name a few. With the hit song ˜No Beer in Heaven" and internationally released album ˜Savannah Breeze" we are honoured he will be performing at FORWARD's fundraising concert.

WEIRD MC and Seye will also perform as previously advertised.

Tickets can still be bought for the Fundraiser Concert on the Roundhouse website

Roundhouse will be refunding all payments for the Q&A but we hope that you will still join us for a night of amazing African music and continue to support the work of FORWARD. For more information please see the Roundhouse website
