Armed with a generous helping of newly-digested tunes from Ethiopia, Cameroon, Zimbabwe, Guinea, Jamaica and Cuba, and accompanied by special guests, including Richmond legend, Paul Watson, Rattlemouth will propel you to your feet and keep you there howling for more!

It should be noted that the entire evenings' festivities will be dedicated to the memory of our friends, the Harvey family, and will include a shrine in their honor to which all are welcome to contribute. Let us stand together against the dark forces of the past year, and dance in the New Year with joy and hope."
