1963 to 2023. Sixty years on from Dr Martin Luther King’s historic ‘I Have a Dream’ speech. What is our dream today? In this Windrush 75 year, The Dream Sixty season explored how to answer this question through new music releases, podcasts, and live performance from the amazing Dream Sixty Choir.

Nathaniel Coltrane Wilson
Nathaniel and his creative collaborator Philth paid homage to the Windrush Generation by developing a Street Art Mural which celebrates sound system culture, and the positive impact immigration has had on our country. Nottingham Soundsystem culture was prominent in Hyson Green, and this vibrant culture brought together people from diverse backgrounds, and had a profound impact on the community, shaping the way people view music and dance. Thank you to those that launched the mural with us and celebrated this important history, and the vibrancy of Hyson Green today.
