Shoreditch Festival, Shoreditch Park, Hackney
Joined by professional members of the Grand Union Band, they wowed a large and vibrant audience at the outdoor event. The rain held off to moments before the end of the set.
Many of the audience enjoyed dancing along to GUYOs unique summer sound.
The first GUYO master-class will now be on Sunday September 19th 2010 rather Sunday September 12th at the Premises Studios, Hackney Road.
From September until the end of March, Grand Union’s projects are being united under the banner From Silk Road to Carnival, exploring the trade routes than brought prosperity to Britain and the rest of Europe – but at social, and often moral cost. Read about the programme of work here.
From16th - 20th August Grand Union and Emergency Exit Arts will be based at Fairkytes Arts Centre in Romford to deliver a week of Carnival Workshops in the lead up to Romfest World Carnival at the end of September.
