Have a break from football and come dance instead.
We're playing at the Spiegel tent on Bath rugby ground (the Rec)
They'll be videos as well and we'll be playing new songs from the album "Beyond the forest" as well as old favourites.
You can hear clips on our website (www.baka.co.uk) and we've put a couple of live tracks on our Myspace page.
One Love!
You all sit, mesmerised, few able to sip their pints now, totally astonished, completely absorbed... Something magical, astonishing and perplexing is happening right in front of you. It's as if a woodland sprite has come to life, or an oak tree has walked in, tuned up and started sharing its Mysteries. Collectively you are hypnotised.
