Ayoka is a vintage boutique store in Bethnal Green, selling clothing, books, records and CD's.On the last Thursday of every month they hold in-store gigs with both established and up and coming artists.
The store and the funds from the gigs is to raise money for the African Women's Welfare Association (AWWA). This organisatoion aims to raise awareness of sickle cell and Thalassaemia, both are inherited blood disorders.
The very talented Rhiannon Eglin is playing hauntingly beautiful instrument called a Hammered Dulcimer.
Ayoka opened in July 2010, they need more good quality goods to sell in their store, so Londoners time to cull your wardrobes and donate those clothes that are very glam but you no longer wear.

What an inventive way to help a charity. Hope that you get a good response from this post re. needed clothes and quality goods. I wonder what kind of instrument that artist is playing?
very cool!!
What a great way to help those in need! I wish there was such a place in Montreal where I could both shop and donate!
A worthy cause - and fun to go along and listen.
What a place!
Very nice inventive!
This is great!
Bello! Un abbraccio!
