Tobias Ben Jacob, John Elliott

The Refuge tour from songwriter Tobias ben Jacob and producer/multi- instrumentalist John Elliott aims to shed light on the ongoing refugee crisis; through story telling in song mixed with firsthand accounts, research, newsreel and audio samples.

We will tell individual human stories that become much more for the audience than a passing news item or just another statistic. As Ahmad-Al Rashid said in a recent Guardian interview 'Be kind, be the voices of the voiceless. Be a human being.'

Alongside the concerts we will be looking to bring the project to local community settings and partner with refugee charities to help with fundraising and awareness.
