Yesterday I had the chance to speak and then play a gig in Chiang Mai, Thailand, alongside fantastic Burmese and Thai musicians at the global conference on Burma, attended by 650 human rights advocates and academics from around the world. We were asked to play at the first day closing in the foyer of the conference centre, to a great crowd of inspirational young and not so young rights activists. The backdrop for the music was AJAR’s exhibition of ‘quilts of memory and hope’: cloth patches of the stories of Rohingya women refugees, sewn together for the quilts.

Next live performance will be at 6pm TODAY Sunday 4th August at the Uniserv CMU, Chiang Mai, Thailand
