Neverneverland/Afrika Bamabaataa

Last Saturday I hit up the Neverneverland rave at The Coronet to see the legend that is Afrika Bamabaataa. As soon as I heard he was in the UK I was hyped to see him.

To be honest I left disappointed. I don't know if it was the venue's fault, the people or the great man himself but something was missing. Maybe having Q-tip in town on the same night had something do with it. Mr Bambaataa's set was still live but I think I was expecting a bit much from him. The man pretty much invented the game so he's getting on a bit. Bopping round the stage weren't going to happen!

Don't think I could ever get bored of hearing his set.

Large up The Kool Kids holding it down nicely in room 2. Props to George for the hook up...
