Writing Starts
The original music and words are created by Alan Seviour and Mark Archer who have researched and written the songs, combining historical insight with a shared passion for music and storytelling.
With the blessing of the Fairfield House community - the house where Haile Selassie resided - a plan for the project was agreed and put in place.
Together Alan & Mark formed a formidable group of musicians, artists, writers and sound engineers for this unique music project - and rapidly the idea transformed into an exciting project.
