At the Crossroads: An evening celebrating music and poetry of Sudan As Sudan braces itself for the January 9th referendum which could split the largest country in Africa into two independent states, St Ethelburga's Centre for Peace and Reconciliation is organising a Sudanese music and poetry night in celebration of reconciliation, peace and cultural diversity. Scheduled for the evening of Friday 3rd of December the event brings together musicians and poetry from both Southern and Northern Sudan in what we hope will not be the last "Sudanese" party in London ever.

What you will be experiencing this evening is a taste of this creativity and celebratory spirit".
