Happy New Year, Kurds

Newroz is coming up (pun: newroz means "new sun" or "new day") on 21 March. A Kurdish Cultural Festival will take place in London during the month, culminating in music and dance performances at Finsbury Park on 26 March. Telephone Halkevi - 020 7249 6980 - for details.
Coxsoft Art must admit it knows nothing about Kurds, except they wear colourful bobble hats with ear flaps instead of bobbles and were persecuted by Saddam Hussein. That must make them the good guys. I'll keep an eye open for any Kurdish art that crops up.
