    PRESS RELEASE WEDNESDAY 29 AUGUST 2018 FURTHER CAST ANNOUNCED FOR DEBRIS STEVENSON’S NEW WORK POET IN DA CORNER, DIRECTED BY OLA INCE OPENING IN THE JERWOOD THEATRE DOWNSTAIRS FRIDAY 21 SEPTEMBER 2018. New trailer here. Downloadable artwork here. Listen to a track Kemi from the show here. Left to right back row: Jammz, Debris Stevenson and Mikey ‘J’ Asante. Left to right front row: Kirubel Belay and Cassie Clare. Photo credit: Romany-Francesca Mukoro In the semi-autobiographical Poet in da Corner poet, lyricist, and dancer Debris Stevenson explores how grime helped shape her youth. Debris and previously announced writer and performer Jammz will be joined by Cassie Clare and Kirubel Belay. Directed by Ola Ince, Poet in da Corner will also feature music and composition from Michael ‘Mikey J’ Asante, co-founder and co-artistic director of Boy Blue.

Precisely 57 minutes and 21 seconds later, her life begins to change – from feeling muted by dyslexia to spitting the power of her words; from being conflicted about her sexuality to finding the freedom to explore; from feeling alone to being given the greatest gift by her closest friend. A coming of age story inspired by Dizzee Rascal’s seminal album, Boy in da Corner.

Zulehner II ACKNOWLEDGEMENT I owe an enormous debt of gratitude to his Excellency retired Bishop Dr. Emmanuel A. Mapunda who accorded me an opportunity to further my studies in Austria. His fatherly and calm reassurance to this endeavour gave much support needed to complete my studies. I am grateful to Rev. Dr. Charles Kitima the Vice Chancellor of St. Augustine University of Tanzania (Mwanza), for granting me a study leave in order to pursue studies abroad. This Dissertation could not have seen the light of the day without an accomplished guidance of Prof. em . DDR. Paul M. Zulehner my moderator. I register my heartfelt gratitude to him. I have benefited enormously from his insights and the wide scope to which he opened for this work. In the same way I thank my second moderator Prof. Dr. Martin Jäggle, for his astute observations and helpful suggestions a result of careful reading of the chapters despite his many assignments as Dean of the Faculty of Theology. I offer special thanks to the Archdiocese of Vienna for sponsoring my studies. I would like to appreciate the assistance and cooperation I received from Dr. Johannes Gönner the Rector of the Afro-Asiatic Catholic Community and to Mag.

Very pleased to bring you an interview with one of my favourite modern producers, Jil Addis. This month’s issue also sees the review of #Ending The Silence by Euton Daley’s Unlock The Chains Collective. It had been some time since I saw a live show in a theatre and it was very energising to witness such a vital show. Another local event was the start of reggae nights in Eynsham thanks to Richie Roots, writer for The Dub. Hopefully that can now be a regular feature. Pete Clack brings us a profile on a true individual and his connection to New Orleans music – Little Richard. Richard was a trailblazer and a controversial figure for many reasons, as well as giving one Jimi Hendrix one of his first touring jobs in his band. I have loved having Pete’s reports from the blues end of town as reggae owed so much to the sounds of New Orleans, Chicago and elsewhere in the USA. Thanks again to Steve Mosco for his continued support, it means a great deal as for many years I used to buy records from his online Reggae Music Store.
