Bank Holiday fun at the Music For Change Global Picnic in Canterbury - August 29th 2011

The mediocre Bank Holiday weather didn't put festival-goers off at the Music For Change Global Picnic in Canterbury today (Monday August 29th 2011).

A relaxed crowd gathered for the free event, which featured a mixture of world music, family fun and a selection of craft and food stalls in the city's Dane John Gardens.

There was plenty for those waiting for headliner Seckou Keita to do - including a Beeja Bollywood Dance Workshop and sampling food from local suppliers including the Canterbury Curry Club.

Canterbury-based Music For Change aim to bring world music into the classroom and the community, allowing people to fulfill their creative potential whilst respecting and celebrating cultural diversity.
