one evening, the market is going to be a real oasis of culture. It will
be an amazing showcase of local talent."
Roots co-ordinator Parminder Dosanjh said: "It's an evening
not to be missed! Last year artists used the market stalls as galleries
and musicians a stage. This year is bigger and will end with a street
party 聳 and it's all free!"
