SOUL @ O2 Academy, Bristol, 28th Feb 2010
Saturday night at the O2 Academy in Bristol saw the return of some old school legends who rocked the house til 3am…Hosted by none other than Soul Queen Rose Windross, the night began with Odyssey singing classics like “dont you tell me tell her” and “inside out”…up next were Heatwave with more classics and some serious dance moves! Dropping my favourite tune of the night “Mind Blowing Decisions” had me singing along and “always and forever” had me searching for my wifey…last but not least was Gwen Dickey of Rose Royce who grabbed the staged with her diva presence and ended the night with classics such as “wishing on a star” and “car wash”
Lyrix Organix @ The Paradise Club, 24th September 2009
Travelling west to Kensal Rise was a funky night of live music and comedy in a cosy little venue called Paradise. Beat boxer Special K opened up with some funky voice skills just before Doc Brown took the stage, a man who I’d photographed 5 years ago at the Jump Off when he was tearing up emcees on stage. Now coming with a completely different flex, DocBrown incorporates rap and comedy to the extent that it just flows nicely and makes sense and makes you laugh! Big up Doc on this, something I haven’t seen live before, he also came with a great theme of using cards to explain and translate street slang into formal English, one of the funniest parts of his set.
Up next was the revolutionary Aruba Red who uplifted the venue with Soulful Reggae infused music, followed shortly by Maverick Sabre who did pretty much the same, almost like an Irish version of the artist Natty, Maverick has some lovely soothing conscious lyrics sung in a way that just captivates the mind and allows it to relax in tune with the guitar strings and lyrics. If that wasn’t enough, the Empress Floetic Lara then stepped up to feed minds with a deeper level of lyrical talent, opening up her set with “Passionate Poets” (check it out on her myspace page) – the kind of song that you appreciate so much it makes you wish you were the one who wrote it! If your thinking on that level anyway…
A wicked night, nuff respect to Dan Tsu who put it all together and also rocked the stage during the jam session at the end.
Incognito @ The O2 Indigo, 22nd August 2009
Celebrating the 30th Anniversary of their collective musical excellence, Incognito arrived on stage to a packed O2 indigo crowd, DJ Fitzroy had already warmed up the venue with some soul classics, but it was this legendary band who rocked the place for the next 90 minutes. Featuring a massive collective of artists and featuring Jocelyn Brown who’s voice was definitely one of the most powerful I have ever witnessed in my life. Maximum respect goes out to all the artists, Bluey, Jocelyn, DJ Fitzroy, Mala who hooked me up the press pass and all the fans who have been supporting good music since the beginning.
Michael Jackson Tribute @ 02 Matter, 30th july 2009
Hosted by none other than Funk Physics creator Kymberlee Jay. Kym pulled out all the stops to bring us performances on the night by 11 of the best dance crews in the country, all of which performed specially choreagraphed dances in honor for Michael Jackson. There have been tributes taking place all over the world, some just hours after his death. Many people including myself have grown up on MJ’s music and the influence is not hard to see, the man was a revolutionary in musical terms, producing timeless music that continues to inspire to this day.
Also on the night we had beautiful vocalist Kele Le Roc bless the stage to sing us two songs, as well as Duane Flames feat Shan and Insight who both delivered songs to touch hearts.
It was great to witness the sheer energy on the night, with the youngest of the performers aged just 6 years old and already packed with knowledge on MJ’s music, big shouts out to Kym and all the dancers who performed on the night, as well as the audience for making it all possible, money made from the night has also been donated to Amnesty International.
