URBAN VAULT UK
Over the weekend of August 29th 2015, Tropical Storm Erika devastated the Caribbean island of Dominica. Over 40 people are known to have died and over 80% of the island lost essential supplies such as electricity and water, and many of the remote villages suffered damage that the Government have said has set the country back by twenty years.

“Doing It For Dominica” Is an initiative which was started by some key people in the UK music industry, many of whom have heritage links to Dominica. The fund raising event takes place on Sunday 11th October 2015 at London’s Jazz Cafe in Camden.
