Bishop McAleenan and Ooberfuse to join Refugee Vigil at Home Office

Electro-pop band Ooberfuse, together with Kurdish refugee folk singer Newroz Oremari will be performing their new song: 'Show Me Love' during the Refugee Vigil outside the Home Office on Monday, 19 June from 12.30-1.30pm.

Names of refugees who have lost their lives trying to seek sanctuary in England will be read out. Bishop Paul McAleenan, Lead Bishop for Migrants and Refugees in the Bishops Conference will give a reflection during the special event for Refugee Week.

This monthly vigil is organised by Westminster Justice & Peace and London Catholic Worker.

Newroz Oremari has a mesmerising voice and recently made a recording with Ooberfuse in the iconic Abbey Road studios - an incredible change of fortunes for a dissident artist who had faced the death penalty in Iraq for his music which was critical of Saddam Hussein regime.
