It's twenty years since Gilad first landed in Britain and since then, he's made a huge impact as a composer and saxophonist. This concert celebrates his best-known group Orient House Ensemble (Frank Harrison, Eddie Hick & Yaron Stavi), with friends including the Sigamos Quartet led by Ros Stephen, Sarah Gillespie, Asaf Sirkis, Jennifer Bennett and Yair Avidor.
They will be joined by two very special guests - the legendary Wilko Johnson, who will be playing a few numbers to close the show, and Norman Watt-Roy, Gilad's compadre in The Blockheads.
“Atzmon’s spirit and soul inhabit every one of his compositions, and his playing is truly exceptional” All About Jazz

2. Seek, Speak, Spread Truth - London Conference
We will explore a variety of taboos and may as well injure a few sacred cows. If you are in London area, make sure you attend this conference.
Date: Sat 23 Nov 2013
Time: 9am-9pm
Venue: The Wesley Hotel, 81-103 Euston St, London, NW1 2EZ
The intention of this conference is to bring together under one roof, a number of great speakers from a variety of disciplines, each an expert in their particular area. Thus giving everyone present a chance to learn about what else is going on in other parts of the Truth Movement, and get the bigger picture of the extraordinary work being done by people from all backgrounds. Opening all to the possibility that a mass awakening is already well and truly under way.
Come and be ENLIGHTENED about the hidden truths and agendas of our media, governments and corporations, delivered to you by extraordinary speakers committed to the cause of Truth and Justice – Gilad Atzmon, Ken O’Keefe, Kevin Schot and poetry by Nahida Exiled.
Hi, I am Tahra Ahmed and for the last few years I have immersed myself in researching these hidden truths. I created an opportunity for like-minded people to connect, learn, be empowered to take actions that will benefit ALL, and for all of us to raise our Consciousness, and create the possibility of a world based on Truth, Justice and Peace.
