This ‘festival’ has become a family affair, as it also involves alter-egos of the band (Cinerama), off-shoots (The Ukranians), solo sets by members past and present (Terri de Castro, Paul Dorrington), and many friends. “To be honest I feel like a fraud,” says David. “It’s a Wedding Present concert with a load of mates and former colleagues… It’s my festival, so I can do what I want I suppose!”

One of only a handful of specialist kora makers in the UK and the founder of Brighton’s global music instrument shop Adaptatrap, Les Sherwood is the perfect person to create the city’s first festival of kora music.

“I make koras in conjunction with many African players,” says Les.”After meeting a lot of these players it just occured to me and Danny [Horwood, founder of the event’s managers, Harmony In The Community) to organise such an event.”
