Tonight refuweegee are holding a social event in their shop at number 100 Byres Road and I’m looking forward to interviewing Selina for the latest on what they’ve been doing since we spoke to them about a year ago. <br> <br> <br> <br> Tonight’s event is going to be attended by volunteers, all sorts of people and it features a performance from the Nevis ensemble who has just pulled up in their coach. Let’s go inside and see what’s happening.<br> <br> <br> <br> And we have the Nevis Ensvble joining us as they file in with their musicals instruments and music stands and we are moving the furniture to one side. They’re going to play us a little concert.<br> <br> <br> <br> Oudai Tozan <br> <br> <br> <br> And here’s an old friend of the podcast Oudai Ozan. Hi Oudai!<br> <br> <br> <br> O: Hi, glad to see you again and chat again.<br> <br> <br> <br> K: It’s been super to catch up with you over the last couple of years since we spoke. What’s new with you? What’s on your mind today Oudai?<br> <br> <br> <br> O: What’s on my mind? A lot of things on my mind. One of them is as I start to enjoy today’s great event, this is a start and work, volunteering, sports, friends. This is life recently. <br> <br> <br> <br> K: You are looking very well.<br> <br> <br> <br> O: Yes I am, thankfully. I’m enjoying my time. Enjoying everything but the weather today is a little bit difficult, so other than the weather, yes, everything is is great.<br> <br> <br> <br> K: I should say for the listeners that Oudai has got the most spectacular scarf I have seen for quite a while. <br> <br> <br> <br> O: Do you think so? A lot of people said this but if you are insinuating that you want it, then I’m sorry. <br> <br> <br> <br> K: lovely to see you again.
