All proceeds to Week 4 A Day and Hurricane Katrina Relief Fund
Mind, Body & Boogie is a two day festival of music, dance and sporting activities organised and coordinated by Week4ADay Community Interest Company, to be held in Bollington on September 2nd -3rd 2006.
Our aim is to provide a week-end of free music, sporting and cultural events with a focus on mental health and social inclusion. We are supported by a network of artists and performers who have pledged their time to help Week4ADay.
Week4aday have joined with Troy Andrews and Orleans Avenue in a unique project to raise funds for Week4ADay and for the Hurricane Katrina Relief Fund.
Troy (Trombone Shorty) started playing on the streets of New Orleans at the age of 6 and later graduated from the Louis Armstrong School of Performing Arts, New Orleans. Troy plays trombone, trumpet, keyboards and percussion! He has played with many of the New Orleans greats including the Neville Brothers, Winston Marsalis, Dr John and he has recently been on tour with Lenny Kravitz. With his band Orleans Avenue, Troy weaves a musical journey through the various styles of Jazz from its New Orleans roots to the bands own energetic fusion of modern and traditional which is guaranteed to bring a smile to the face and boogie to the shoes.
