Last night I attended a fundraising event for The Butterfly Tree in Nottingham hosted by SWITCH and orgainzed by my son, Mike and his friends to raise money for a Science lab at Mukuni High School. The venue was Ecucha, one of Nottingham’s top bars and Basement Crew, a live DJ set from Zambian provided the music.

The evening was a great success and all the money raised will go towards The Butterfly Tree project to build a science lab at Mukuni High School. The drinks were sponsored by Peroni and Bacardi Brown-Forman and the bar staff donated their wages to add to the total. Zambian DJs , Basement Crew, were amazing, playing Zambian music, which proved to be more popular than the UK hits; the African beat creating a great atmsophere.

The Butterfly Tree would like to thank SWITCH, Escucha, the sponsors and all the bar staff and the Zambian DJs who freely volunteered their services.
