An Extra Special Guest Report by Heather “Minx” (Minx Media, Primordial RIngs)

Music is life. We need it for our well being, the cohesion of our relationships with others and the world at large. Nothing breaks down barriers like the shared experience of playing and creating music. For those who make it is an ache of pain and pleasure to make themselves vulnerable to share their gift.

This pandemic has been devastating here in the Western wealthy countries. Imagine being a young musician in a war zone. That is where Delia Arts Foundation steps in. They are boots on the ground in places like Congo and Morocco by creating a safe haven and an industry where there is nothing, therefore, supporting, nurturing and empowering artists, many of whom are women who need even more support. This time their focus is the Gaza Strip.

On Saturday, April 10th, Delia Arts Foundation presents 'LIVE FOR GAZA' streamed event featuring brilliant performances by Roger Waters, Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine) and a special contribution from Brian & Roger Eno, who have all been incredibly generous with their time and support of this cause.

They will be joining amazing artist from the Arts Centre itself and huge stars like Mohammed Assaf (below) who is the biggest Palestinian star of a generation who are sharing their art and showing solidarity with their fellow musicians around the world. 

I have been so happy to have been able to play a part in this wonderful program by having the opportunity to bring the featured Western stars on board. Please join us for what will be and incredible night of unity, music and peace.
