Ticket: £6 (£5)Sarfraz Manzoor’s teenage years were a constant battle to reconcile being both British and Muslim. Music was a passion and at sixteen he discovered the music of a man that would change his life forever. Bruce Springsteen articulated everything that Sarfraz had ever felt about escape.
Greetings from Bury Park illuminates the hidden joys and public agonies of being a Pakistani Muslim. It is an inspiring tribute to the power of music to transcend race and religion and essential reading for anyone interested in trying to understand what it means to be Muslim living in Britain today.
