"As a multi-art form and music festival, I'm looking forward to the Village Green festival to enjoy the moments it brings and share my culture and talents with a wider audience at the Global Village Stage. It will be a moment of exchanging energies and also look forward to sharing the space with like minded artistes. I truly look forward to delivering the Global Essex programme at Village Green 2017 festival. Thanks to Metal Culture for producing such event."
