Make Poverty History Concert July 1, 2005

On Friday 1 July, New Consumer, the UK's Fairtrade lifestyle magazine, is holding a spectacular Fairtrade Gathering: World Music Concert with enlightening Fairtrade talks.

The music line up includes, the much awaited Candido Fabre y su banda in their first visit to Scotland, plus our own Zuba, Poor Old Ben, The Ruffness and Orkestra del Sol.
