Fairtrade gig in Manchester

Manchester Oxfam Campaigners came together with local musicians recently for a night in support of Fairtrade Fortnight.

The night went down a treat with music from Arron Robinson, Lanen (who brightened up the room with their rustic hippy melodies), and an unnamed band (no, really, they don't have a name), which included interesting noises from a djembe and a flute. In between all this there was an eclectic mix of DJ tunes from Motown to reggae and dub.

In amongst the floating sounds were free Fairtrade wine and goodies (courtesy of Co-op) to get everyone feeling the Fairtrade vibe plus, to top it off, a Fairtrade quiz to test Manchester's knowledge on trade justice.

I think it's fair to say the night was a success and opened a few eyes and ears to Making Trade Fair in the north - now that's what we like!
