Greater Spotted Ceilidh for MAP 16th May ’26

May 17, 2026 By Jane Lewis Leave a Comment

We were delighted to be asked to sing at the Greater Spotted Ceilidh in Portobello Town Hall to raise funds for Medical Aid for Palestinians

Here is a video of our moving collaboration with Nada Shawa, Palestinian dancer and poet, and Gica Loening, fiddle player. The song is the traditional Palestinian lullaby Yumma Mwhale el Hawa. A re-worked version of this song by Together for Palestine was a strong contender for the Xmas No. 1 spot in December 2025. Money from purchases of the single went to Choose Love, a charity supporting Palestinian-led organisations Taawon, Palestine Children’s Relief Fund and Palestine Medical Relief Service.
