Joshua Idehan plus Global Kitchen Supper

Loves Cafe presents a very special night on Thursday April 6th.

Welcoming spoken word artist and musician, Joshua Idehan, to Loves ‘ stage for the first time!

Opening for Joshua are Jaidah, Malcolm and Sophie, 3 of Weston’s very own Slam Poets, offering up some of their Spoken Words. You may have caught them before at our “Rhyme Against the Tide” bi-monthly Poetry Slam, held at Loves.

A very special “Global Menu” will be served, working alongside a group of Asylum Seekers, with whom Loves have been running a cooking project – offering a very special supper, with dishes from Iran, Afghanistan, Russia, India and West Africa. They have written the menu as a group, to showcase recipes that they enjoy cooking, and resonating with memories from home.
