WELCOME

Passage of Music was a season of Black music commemorating the 200th anniversary of the Abolition of the Slave Trade Act. This season of events traced the musical journey from Africa to the Caribbean and beyond, exploring how this music has shaped and enriched contemporary British culture.

Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness. Maya Angelou, Gather Together in My Name

You can cage the singer but not the song. Harry Belafonte.
