Important, sad and beautiful. My respect ! - The names of the musicians should be mentioned : Cohen Braithwaite-Kilcoyne, Reg Meuross and Suntou Susso.
To complete the credits - narration by Steve Knightley of Show of Hands (Steve is a longstanding patron of Shrewsbury Folk Festival), and sound engineering by Matt Donaldson.
Thank you so very much for the opportunity to watch this. I have the CD but seeing them perform it was wonderful. A message that needs to be spread far and wide. Well done Reg for telling it so beautifully and clearly.
Brilliant content - great job all of you. Streaming was a bit fractured on Sunday. SHould be essential listening/viewing! Wonderful music and art - terrible subject matter. Well done Reg for bringing this out of the closet.
May I just add this has bought tears to my eyes. In the chill of my memory I recall that only one british woman, a militia wife, ever visited the Fort. This was against the will of those brutal slavers. She went to her husband. An artist and poet she took her own life after one month or so, traumatised and sickened to her soul.
Really love it music and narrative fab

As someone who was in the audience, I welcome to chance to revisit this excellent evening.
Probably the most important folk work of the modern day, Thank you Reg, may this story be told forever

A poignant story well told with great music
Very interesting, well explained and inspiring, particularly as we we're not far from Bristol.

Made me shudder. I saw a WA trading Fort in Ghana and shuddered then. It lodges in my mind like an evil intruder.
