Join us for an incredible evening of Reggae, Dub, Afrobeat, Funk and Jazz with Younger Youthsayers, Youthsayers + Red Earth Collective.
Youthsayers is a music project based in South London providing free mentoring in music for young people through ensemble work and live performance. They are a registered charity, committed to fostering growth, confidence, and skill in young musicians and are organised and facilitated by professional musicians Robin Hopcraft and Idris Rahman from the mighty Soothsayers.
Red Earth Collective consists of the aforementioned Robin and Idris alongside ‘graduates’ of Soothsayers. A guaranteed blast is on the cards!
Younger Youthsayers provides an opportunity for 9 to 13 yr olds to be part of a regular rehearsing group focussing on great accessible tunes from iconic reggae, jazz and Afrobeat traditions. The learning is focussed on group performance and developing a love for playing.
Come rain or shine, as we can take shelter in the greenhouse and under marquees if the weather is unkind to us.
Join us for a wonderful session of seriously good sounds!

Getting to us
BPCG is in the middle of Brockwell Park, between the tennis courts and the walled gardens. Follow the signs.
If you are driving to the gig, we recommend parking your car on Dulwich Road or near Dulwich Road.
Entrance and exit from the Park should be via the Park’s Lido Gates on Dulwich Road.
The park will be dark when you leave the gig so everyone must leave in groups with torches.
