Adrian (‘Ade Blues’) Owusu - Soul Brother, bandmate, artist and all round good guy sadly passed away in July this year. He was an amazing musician and human being who was loved by so many.

Ade, who was a real life busker, played with The Heliocentrics, as well as Mulatu Astatke, Orlando Julius, Johnny Boy, The Gaslamp Killer, Anthony Joseph, Family Atlantica, Quantic Soul Orchestra, Paloma Faith and countless others.

The Heliocentrics want to honour him with a great send off and have set up this fundraiser to support Adrian’s family with the funeral costs. Any money not used will go to the charity, Core Arts, in Hackney to support musicians facing mental health challenges.

Please give what you can and spread the love, Ade style. Thank you !
