Hi all...

Check out the live track...i think it's quite cool, might check out one of his gigs...see if he needs a new bassist, lol

Thanks

Soweto is amazing - seriously go and see him live - he's a monster sax player and his rapping is cool, extremely articulate and funny - and so smart he makes the likes of 50 Cent look even more like the ignorant f***wits they really are.

I used to play gigs with Soweto when I lived in Oxford about 8 years ago - he was a badass then too - he's playing at Glastonbury on the Jazz World stage - the BBC 'might' film it - but then again thy normally just film all the main stages and ignore the smaller stuff - Soweto deserves a much bigger audience - he's unbeleivably talented.

I've been to two of his gigs now in Birmingham and both have been excellent. The whole band are mother [push in the truck]ers...neil charles on bass, Femi the guitarist is the happiest man in the world and troy the drummer plays some amazing [Top Ten hit].

Sounds like i'll have to get down to his gigs then...glad i stumbled across him!

He's playing the 30th of June in Birmingham, in Digbeth somewhere I think.
