Britain's What's On Event Guide
Campfire Club: Touki
The Nest Collective invites you to enjoy a beautiful fireside concert with Touki.
Rediscover one of life’s simplest joys – the sharing of live music in the glow of a campfire.
Every summer, we gather in beautiful green spaces within cities to hear extraordinary music by artists from all over the world.
In the simple way that people have done for thousands of years, we come together around the fire to enjoy music, food, drink and the company of others.
For this Campfire Club we are delighted to present Touki.
Who would have guessed that a chance encounter years ago between buskers in the streets of Bath, England would lead to a new musical adventure years later? Amadou Diagne from Senegal and French-American Cory Seznec hit it off that spring day years ago, planting the seeds of a future collaboration in their minds. Life embarked them on different touki (journey in Wolof), but with the recent support of an Arts Council of England grant, Amadou and Cory have been able to see their seedling shoot up into the light.
The opening act for this show is Modeste Hugues.
Campfire Club audiences say:
“Getting to hear live music after so long was deeply emotional and the feeling of collective spirit (especially now) was really powerful.”
“The sun setting over the garden and Thames and the amazing overall relaxed (yet ‘safe’) ambience of the event. Very moving to finally be at a live gig.”
“The beautiful venue, the beautiful music, the beautiful weather! Thank you so much.”
“This was my first live music event since the beginning of the year and, although the acts were brilliant, I think what will stay with me is the joy of being with people and enjoying the moment together. I feel very grateful to you all for putting on the event.”
“This event was phenomenal. I cannot wait until I attend another one… the musicians were something else. I certainly didn’t feel as though I was in Peckham, but some enchanted woodlands”
