About the song:
“We Tamed A Tiger” is a look back to when I was 9 and my parents took my four brothers and I travelling for a year. We bought a green 20 year old coach (a Leyland Tiger, hence the name of the song), converted it into our home and travelled throughout southern Europe for 10 months. It was the most incredible experience, and such an adventure. The song is about the warm, hazy nostalgia I hold for that time in my childhood, as well as the slight sadness at the lack of detail my memories hold, almost like I could have dreamt it. The song is the first track of my debut EP Honey, released in 2021.

About the song:
“Place to Keep” is a haunting, emotionally layered track about returning to someone who feels like home – even when that comfort comes with chaos. With lyrics that explore the push-pull of love and longing, the song captures the feeling of being stuck in a cycle: knowing better, but still going back. It’s about the magnetic pull of familiarity, even when it’s laced with pain. Of love that hurts, but still holds you.
Title: I Row in Circles
Artist: Barny Smyth

Dorset based mutineer backs Kakuma Art Project as he says this is the county that is blessed with the wonders and safety of a western capitalist construct and some of God’s best work. We are fortunate, fed, inspired and comfortable. Someone creates a path to help others and we should be grateful. Viva to the Power of One Painting!
LotGods’ (Lap of the Gods)
Written and performed by Sinead Gallagher
Sinead Gallagher is a singer and songwriter from Donegal Ireland and this is her original song inspired by the familiar adage that says to Leave it in the Lap of the Gods. The songs message is to NOT leave it all to the Gods, but rather to dance with them in the creation, making and building of our own destinies. A fitting song for the outstanding work of the Kakuma Project!

Mama
Sung by Icelandic singer, poet & actress
Olof Sverrisdottir
This is a song I sang to my mum at her funeral. It is about a girl that wakes up in the middle of the night after dreaming that her mum was the queen of a big palace, with an orchestra of trolls, fairies and humans playing instruments.
In this song she tells her mum about the dream and how she would love to become a conductor of a big orchestra when she is older.

The The Complete Actors – Kakuma Refugee Camp
In the heart of Kakuma Refugee Camp, a powerful creative movement is growing—The Complete Actors Founded and led by refugee artists Ngoy Stany & Joel Dacosta, this youth-driven collective is made up of 45 actors, musicians, dancers, and filmmakers who are using their talents to inspire hope, challenge stigma, and create change.
Despite the incredible creativity and passion within the camp, most young people lack the support, resources, and platforms needed to grow their artistic skills. This lack of opportunity has led many to fall into early marriage, substance abuse, and a loss of direction. The Complete Actors exists to change that narrative – through art, performance, and powerful storytelling.
Their original song Labor composed and performed by the group, sends a message to the community:
“Talent is a treasure.”
They call on parents to recognise the value of creativity, and they appeal to supporters around the world to invest in the next generation of refugee talent.
With the right support, these young artists could go far – not just in their personal growth, but in uplifting their entire community.
