WHAT NOT TO MISS THIS SEPTEMBER 2018
Can you believe we are well into the last quarter of the year!? As we reach the end of the first week of September. Here are some of my top picks of what not to miss this month. Enjoy!
This year Afropunk London are taking over Brixton with Talk Series, Battles of the bands and more during this first week of September. Afro punk is an arts and music festival that celebrates and unifies a number of cultures from the African diaspora through multiple mediums. The festival originally started in Brooklyn, New York. The closing events will take place this weekend at Electric Brixton and The 02 Brixton Academy with the likes of British music legends DJ Spoony and Jazzy B at Electric Brixton this Friday and Saturday. Be sure not to miss it!
