AFROCITY - Picnic on the Park

This year is the 170th anniversary of the People's Band which played on the racecourse (Victoria Park) in the summer of 1856 & 1857. This was in defiance of the alleged prohibition of secular music being played publicly on Sunday. There was no specific law to prohibit this, so the organisers of the band were eventually fined for trespass and there was no more public music in Leicester's parks until 1895.
Afro City will provide South African Township Jazz.
Please bring food and drink to share.
(Subject to the weather being OK)
