Tayo Aluko and Friends Present

Just An Ordinary Lawyer

Written and performed by Tayo Aluko

WE ARE SORRY BUT THIS EVENT HAS NOW BEEN CANCELLED
Olatunji Sowande was a Nigerian who arrived in London in 1945 to study law and pursue his interest in music. He rose to become a well respected barrister, and in fact became first of all the first Black Head of Chambers in Britain, and then the first (part-time) Black Judge in the UK. He was an active solo concert performer as a baritone singer, giving concerts for charities and to entertain residents of old people’s homes. On top of it all, he was a great lover of Cricket, and became a member of the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) the home of Cricket.
In an unspecified setting, Mr. Sowande muses on Imperialism, Colonialism and Africans’ struggles for freedom, justice and human rights – both in Africa and in the diaspora - from the viewpoint of a sports-loving colonial finding himself stranded in the heart of empire.

Written and performed by Tayo Aluko, creator of the multi-award-winning international hit, Call Mr. Robeson.
