AFRICAN musicians will be bringing a carnival flavour to Christmas this weekend.
Robert Maseko and the Congo Beat are performing at the North-East of England African Community Association Christmas party in Newcastle tomorrow.
The event, in Blackfriars Hall, New Bridge Street, will start with a children's party, with Santa Claus handing out gifts to every child, from 2pm to 5pm. Admission is £2 for children and free for adults.
At 7pm, Robert Maseko and his band take to the stage to launch the carnival, which it is hoped will foster community harmony and show that people of all ethnic backgrounds can celebrate together during the season of goodwill.
Admission is £5 for adults and £2 for children, including a traditional African meal.
Tickets can be purchased at the door, or in advance by calling the association's office, on 0191-265 1155.
