MMF'2019
A huge year by all accounts as the festival returned to a 9-day format and welcomed a whole host of legends to the streets of Sheffield including celebrated Benjamin Zephaniah and the Revolutionary Minds, brilliant rapper Lowkey, tanbur maestro and multi-instrumentalist Seyed Ali Jaberi and the Hamdel Ensemble. The festival saw a return to acclaimed Lebanese company Arab Puppet Theatre Foundation. Former Mayor Magid Magid was joined for a chin wag by The Good Immigrant author Nikesh Shukla. Capping off the festival were the thunderous French Blues Rock Punk Voodoo Queen, Moonlight Benjamin and the unstoppable Wiyaala.
