VIP LAUNCH
The VIP Launch of the 1970’s Lovers Rock UK Exhibition at The Windrush Generation Legacy Association facility 1036-1037 The Whitgift Centre, Croydon was an outstanding success.
Big thanks to the Civic Mayor of Croydon Councillor Alisa Flemming and the Deputy Mayor of Merton Agatha Mary Akyigyina OBE who both gave motivational speeches. And big love to Audrey Scott who delighted the audience with a splendid performance of classic lovers rock songs including ‘Goodbye My Love’ her hit song with the Sadonians.
