Madalitso Band: Film + Live concert

Let's watch a documentary film about an inspirational band from Malawi (the Madalitso Band) and then enjoy their live concert.

We will start by watching the documentary film "The Banjo Boys" by film director Johan Nayar - telling the tale of a two-man band from Malawi, formed by Yobu Maligwa and Yosefe Kalekeni. Film preview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LrjHhsxh98

Having learnt their story we will then have the chance to see them in person - to experience their live concert and enjoy dancing to their life-affirming African rhythms in the Troubador, a popular music venue in South-West London.

The band members have overcome enormous personal and economic barriers - now is a rare chance to appreciate their unique sound and to be inspired by their resilient and joyous spirit.

This is a sold-out event but I have bought the last 5 tickets for our group. The cost is £30 (please pay me in cash on the evening), which covers the cost of the ticket and a souvenir Banjo Boys badge. Please do not reply Yes to the event unless you are committed to coming, as tickets have been bought already in order to give members a chance to attend this special occasion.

Food and drink is available at the venue. The Troubadour was founded in 1954 and is now one of London's oldest independent music venues. It quickly became a vibrant cultural hub, with artists, actors, writers and musicians from all over the world. It established itself as a cornerstone venue in the British folk revival, hosting iconic names such as Bob Dylan, Davey Graham, Martin Carthy, Judy Collins, Paul Simon and many more.
