ShakeFest - Saturday May 31st 2008

ShakeFest Success!

Another Great Year

Three years on, Shakefest was better than ever! Many thanks to all our workshop students, concert goers and campers! Special thanks go to our organisers, workshop instructors, bands and especially our volunteers who helped make it all happen.

CHECK OUT OUR PHOTOS IN THE 'PICTURES' SECTION!

The Shake Festival was in aid of Gach Duine 

“Hope for Women and Children Association” 

(HWCA) in the town of Adaba in the Bale Region of Ethiopia.

The Peace Concert may have started small this year in the quest to achieve the desired result but Peace Concerts will continue until the objective of a Once-Off 24 hour Cease Fire is achieved.
