Successful Fundraising Concert for the Al Ahli Hospital in Gaza

St Michael’s Anglican Church in Anderson’s Bay Dunedin was packed for a concert on 20 March 2024, and you can still donate to this hospital appeal. Over $1200 was raised for this on the night, and further donations can be made to the hospital via Anglican Missions.

Bishop Kelvin Wright reflected on social media:
There were performances from Paul Allen and Bella Bloomfield and the Dee Street Band. But the real showstopper was Vienna Carroll with her mesmerizing mix of story and African American music. Rula Yousef from the Dunedin Palestinian community was MC. It was a powerful, deeply moving evening.

About the Performance

Experimental Blues pairs artists of juxtaposing styles in intimate concerts to create, highlight, and explore the intersection of Blues with other Black American music and musical genres—such as Negro spirituals, gospel, jazz, R&B, soul, hip hop, and more.

This season’s three Experimental Blues concerts begin with the pairing of two blues powerhouses: Vienna Caroll and Melody Angel. Together, these celebrated women of the blues will escort audiences through a musical journey of catharsis and revitalization that is sure to soothe your soul and energize your body.

Black Sailors

 – ANTEBELLUM FREEDOM AGENTS AND SEA SHANTEY SINGERS

In the 1800’s Black men, both free and enslaved, comprised 22% of those who worked on the water, the primary way to move goods at that time. They traveled from northern to southern ports, throughout the Caribbean, to Europe, Australasia and Japan and returned to their communities with stories of life outside the slaveocracy of the U.S.

Sailors wrote the first six autobiographies of Black Americans. Active agents on the Underground Railroad, their freedom messages were so stirring that after the rebellion led by sailor, Denmark Vesey, South Carolina enacted the 1822 Quarantine Laws/Negro Seaman Acts, jailing these men when they came to port.

My play Shallow Brown: Thessalonia and the Free Sailor tells of the love, family, suffering and ultimately triumph of these brave yet unsung freedom fighters and how they helped us free ourselves.
