The Unknowns- Featuring Bedford Voices together

Join us for a powerful afternoon of music, community and connection at Bedford Esquires on Sunday 19th April for a special gig from The Unknowns and Bedford Voices Together.
The gig will be the culmination of a unique Bedford-wide music project led by the charity Hear Me Out. Over a series of creative workshops, local schoolchildren from Ursula Taylor CofE School, the wider community of Bedford and people seeking asylum living in local accommodation have been creating new music
Now, for one night only, those songs will be performed live, bringing participants, families and the wider Bedford community together in celebration of collaboration, resilience and hope.
The afternoon will also feature a special set from The Unknowns, an international band formed in an asylum hotel in central London in 2022. Born out of weekly workshops run by Hear Me Out, the group now performs at gigs across the country, blending musical traditions from the Middle East, Europe and Africa. Their songs explore themes of homeland, family, displacement and hope for the future.
This is an invitation to listen, to sing and to stand together as one community. Expect moving performances, new original music, and an atmosphere that celebrates the power of creativity and music to build bridges across cultures and experiences.
Ticket prices:
• Adults: £12
• Children: £6
• Family ticket: £30

Join us and be part of an unforgettable evening where music becomes a meeting point for Bedford’s many voices.
