A one-off concert to mark the 250-anniversary of Billy Waters’ birth, with live music from Cohen Braithwaite-Kilcoyne, Clarke Camilleri, Hamilton Gross, and Angeline Morrison, with Maz O’Connor and Tony Montague and Martin Simpson. There’ll be a mix of solo and band performances with music from the artists’ own repertoires – old and new – as well as trad.

The show is created and arranged by Mary L. Shannon, writer and author of Billy Waters Is Dancing, and narrated by Suchitra Chatterjee, of Brighton & Hove Black History. It draws together researchers and creatives who have worked together on various projects to highlight the life of this Black disabled Regency celebrity.
