Step aside Jane Austen and Mary Shelley and let’s give some cyber time to one of Bath’s most globally famous residents.

Haile Selassi – King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Elect of God and Emperor of Ethiopia spent five years in the city – between 1936 and 1941 – while in exile.

Fairfield House in Newbridge became his home and, on his return to Africa, he donated it to the city in 1958 as a residence for the elderly.

Now on his birthday – he was born on July 23rd 1892 – Majical x Kibir La Amlak have released “Do You Know” on all digital platforms.
