Africa Oye

This weekend sees one of the UK's most unique festival's take place again in my home city of Liverpool. Now in its 19th year, Africa Oye is the UK's biggest free African music festival, and has seen its stature rise and rise to become one of the most looked forward to events in Liverpool's calender.

Taking place in one of Liverpool's most beautiful and idyllic areas Sefton Park, the festival is free to all with a huge number of activities and attracts a huge range of people each year, check the video from last years festival for an idea of what is on offer.

The musical highlight I am most looking forward to this year is Andrew Tosh, 3rd son of the legendary late Reggae star Peter Tosh, who will be performing late on Sunday afternoon. 
After stunning guests with his performance at his fathers funeral Andrew Tosh has carved out a successful career of his own and now performs regularly across the globe, and I am looking forward to his performance immensely, especially if he pulls out a few of his fathers classics!




With sunshine predicted all weekend there is no doubt this will be another amazing event, and if your in Liverpool or anywhere close by you should really get down to Sefton Park on one of the two days and enjoy a fantastic free festival like no other in Britain.
