I went along to the Africa Oye over the weekend in Sefton Park. It really was a great day out despite the pouring rain.
Rich and I tried some of the authentic African food on offer and it was fantastic. Being a veggie it is hard to eat at festivals as the only option is usually chips!
It is a shame that it couldn't be repeated more than once a year but listening to the organiser on Saturday it was touch and go as to whether there was going to be one at all.
I do hope that they can get enough funding to do it again next year. I will def go!
Below is a video I made of the day. Sorry if the quality is poor -I had to write page leads for both papers as well.
