Liverpool's African Festival aka Oye


Liverpool’s African Festival was photographed in 2008, Liverpool’s Year As European Capital Of Culture. The festival was an “Explosion” of music and vibrant colours,
In 2023 I “revamped” these images, by darkening the background to make the colourfull African clothes worn by the performers stand out further.



The event is very popular providing me with the ideal opportunity to raise awareness for Blood Cancer UK



The emotion and charisma of the performers was perfection
