To an audience of between four and five hundred people, we rededicated the rights of the river Cam and its tributaries, on Jesus Green on Midsummer's Eve. On a sunny evening, we heard wonderful singers, musicians, and campaigners, including the fight to protect Honey Hill and the Wensum Link in Norwich, St Matthews Piece and St Thomas Park in Cambridge, and the indigenous battle to protect nature in Ecuador. Performers included Lefty Men Sing, Lila Shaw-Mitchell. Kelly and Woolley, Mulberry Klezmer, Resound, 4Tunes Friends, Cambridge Voices of Anatolia, Ki Luna & Mousey and the Frida-Violetta Band, closed the evening. The Cambridge Independent covered the event (see here). Keep your diaries free for Midsummer's Eve 2025, when we will be dedicating the rights of the river on Saturday 21st June.
