Benefit 2012: Nomad Mixer


Wayfarers, wanderers…

tramps, train-hoppers, drifters, day-trippers, pilgrims, globetrotters, vagabonds, lost souls, rolling stones and anyone who’s ever felt the urge to go beyond.

As our Migration year draws to a close we invited you to celebrate the things we’ve seen, how far we’ve come and where we’re going next.
