Friday 30/11 day parties!
A market / party / fundraiser for a homeless shelter for the Sudanese refugee community with DJ Ophir Toubul (who plays highly danceable world music) and the great Jali Ensemble who’ll be performing, as well as selling CDs. It will be in the Achoti House at Matalon 70 from 12:00. Not sure how long for, but for a few hours at least. A fun event for a good cause and great for buying strange and interesting things. Free.
***
Greek style hafla with the amazing Trifonas at Port Said. If you missed the last one at the Teder, then you should definitely come to this one and if you were at the last one, then I reckon I already had you at “Trifonas” and “Port Said”. 13:00 – 19:00 (gets going around 14:00 probably. Band on around 15:00. There will be food.) Free.
