Neil M. C. Sinclair (1944-2019) was a local historian, proactive community member, activist and publisher of community newsletters and books on Tiger Bay. He created and delivered various educational tours of Tiger Bay for the visitors and local schools. He worked closely with various local community groups and the likes of Betty Campbell promoting the positive contribution of immigrants and tiger bay.

In his own words, Neil described Tiger Bay as, “There was no place quite like it on earth. No matter where you were from, colour, religion, ethnicity, it didn’t matter. Everyone thrived as one big Community. It was like walking into an Aladdin’s cave. It had the flavour of a Kasbah. At one time 57 different nationalities lived and worked in respectful harmony. Tiger Bay was in the simplest words possible a symbol of racial, ethnic, religious and ecumenical harmony”.

The event is a celebration of his life and work, which will include readings from his literary work and memories shared by members of the community.
