POW! Opening Night - at Turner Contemporary

I Cant Keep Quiet by The POW! Festival Choir - Led by Emily Watts from Music for Change, POW! 2018 opens with a spine tingling mass choir rendition of Milcks I Cant Keep Quiet, featuring singers from all over Thanet who have come together in a specially formed POW! Festival Choir. The song went viral in 2017 as people across the world joined together to protest the US administrations threatening action on global liberty and womens rights. I Cant Keep Quiet became the anthem for the movement and has quickly become a powerful expression of female empowerment with its unifying message of hope for young and old of all genders. Come and join in - this is a song for all of us who cant keep quiet!
