Yesterday was a very Malawian evening, right on their independence day. We went to London to see The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind, a musical.
George Harrison, the dramaturg who brought this show to life, joined us at our last Madalitso Experience. Getting the invite back to see their production was great.

Watching William Kamkwamba's story told through musical theatre was incredible. The set design was impressive, the dog puppet included, and the actor playing William gave a great performance.

There are some striking parallels between his story and ours. Resilience, stubbornness, being called crazy for following what you believe in.

Nice to be with mum and my aunt too that evening too.

Madalitso Band just rocked crowds in Holland and now they're heading back to the UK. This time they're bringing the full experience to the South Coast for the first time ever.

Only once before have we put the film and the band together in one night, and the London experience at the iconic Troubadour was truly incredible. Now it's happening again in Southampton.

16 July. The Banjo Boys screens at Harbour Lights, 6.30pm. Straight after, play live at 9pm, doors 8.45.
Two men from Malawi who built their own instruments from scratch, still touring the world with them.

Very excited to be chatting with .casey of again during the Q&A. We will also be teaming up with

It's the first time I've missed a screening, but, from what I hear, it was a great event. The African Premiere of the Banjo Boys was last night in Zomba, Malawi.

Had a brilliant time 'on the road' with .casey of London Breeze Film Festival as we took the film to Bristol on Thursday. Decent turnout too!

Bristol, a city with such a great reputation for music, not to Mention Madalitso Band heading this way on June 5th.

Also it was great to catch up with friends and family over that way.
