Charles Gigs in Kenya
Sweet Waves Band playing live at Travellers Beach Club, Bamburi Beach, Mombasa, Kenya

Well almost! I had a fantastic holiday over the Christmas period in Kenya, all the usual things, safari, diving, fishing etc. While away I spent some time with one of the bands that played in the hotel, a talented bunch of visually impaired musicians, who go under the name of The Sweet Waves Band. Some of them are totally blind, and others have limited vision. However, disability did not mean inability. Money is tight for them as they do not get any disability benefits from the government, they earn thier living from playing music. I played with them on a couple of evenings, and what a buzz! So I decided to help them, by spreading the word. More details can be found on http://www.sweetwavesband.com Check them out! And if you should go to Mombasa on Holiday, ask your hotel when they are playing. If they have more work they earn more money to support thier families.
