A transliteratively challenged publicist has just written to us:

I just wanted to take you the opportunity to remind you about the first ever Jazza (jazz for Gazza) festival at the Scala in Kings Cross on October 12th and 13th.

Mis-spellings aside… a very impressive line-up of musicians will be out performing for a concert in association with the Free Palestine movement a humanitarian and non-political cause which draws attention to the plight of all Palestinians.
