Raise The Roof // Friday 6th March // West Indian Centre


Raise The Roof made its return to the West Indian Centre on Friday to celebrate the coming of Spring with an Alice in Wonderland themed multimedia festival. Asking 'How far down the rabbit hole do you want to go?' Raise The Roof presents an exciting world of visual and sonic art with live acts and djs, virtual graffiti, magic shows, dance acts, tarot reading and much more.

Of the live bands, African drummers 'Honeydrum' and dub collective 'Root One Band' were definite highlights. 'Honeydrum' had the room dancing and shaking with a mind-blowing display of African rhythm and soul and the 'Root One Band', with thumping bass lines, tight horns, big grooves and good vibes, sounded very impressive through the 30k High Pressure Soundsystem.

All in all, Friday night was flippin' excellent. If you were there, congratulations, if you weren't, you should have been! I'm sure Raise The Roof will be back to welcome in the summer so keep your eyes peeled.
